The haldex oil + the filter just replaced on my 2011MY XC70 D5 also with the differential fluid.
The whole price was about 120 euros with volvo OEM haldex oil + filter and Liqui Moly SAE 80W GL-5 for the diff. The rear diff oil was kinda dirty.

However I have a question regarding the proper oil level of the Haldex:

If we check the the DIY video of Volvosweded in youtube, he said the we have to extract 40 ml to set up the correct level after the top up. I also checked this on VIDA but there is no record to remove/extract 40ml, just top up and that's all.

When I changed the vehicle profile in VIDA to 2008 XC70 I found that there is an article about this. it's strange because both model year 2008/2011 have the same GEN4 Haldex unit.

The proper level in the differential unit is -50 ml after top up.
