From experience with other vehicles try checking the level more often but DO NOT top it up every time, some vehicles seem to reach an oil level below the max but then don't lose any more, obviously if it goes down to low top it up but you may find it settles around half full.
I tried an oil thickener in a previous 850 (same engine as the V70) and now suspect that it caused it to get worse, that's not the same as using a 10/40 but go carefully.
