Go to a good motor factors . They supply a range of oils and can get the correct spec oil up on their system in seconds . Re oil grade , If your engine is in good nick and not done very high miles or still under warranty then 0w-30 as per the manual but if your engine is high miler and uses a drop between changes or you do all your own work then 5W-30 will be fine in our climate .
If any members have a Costco card then a really good A5-B5 oil Chevron Supreme fully synthetic 5W-30 is available from them at around £45 for 20 liters . That's 3 oil changes plus a little top up . I used it for years in two of my V70's . I only stopped using it as latest car (sorry not a Volvo) uses a higher C spec oil.
Costco do sell other brands but the Chevron is the best value for money .
