Also, do I clean the filter/unit with brake cleaner?

Thank you.

Short answer NO. That looks like auto transmission fluid, its RED. Haldex oil is "oil coloured" if you get my meaning.
You only do this job once, well depending up on the colour of you removed oil, but I bit the bullet and bought genuine Volvo stuff from the dealer - after a bit of friendly haggle. ( I allowed my old oil to settle for 24hrs skimmed the cleaner top surface and re used it, and flushed again.... and again.... and again... each time leaving the crud in the settling container)
Additionally I would not use brake cleaner to clean the filter - replace it for same reason as above.
