Just use Vida.
If you don't have Vida, even when you know your box type, you are going to struggle to get the fluid level correct.

You can make an educated guess as to what the fluid temperature is when setting the level but you will be leaving yourself wide open to getting it wrong so I would advise against guessing and instead, do the job right.

I phoned Ashley and Chris at Eastbourne Volvo (I often do) and they were very good with my xc90.

I would give them a call.

Yes, i guess if you are not mechanic inclined , call them. They will give you all the info.
Watch the videos on Youtube, There are many member from this forum (Sirobb) that are golden to teach . Before you tackle something like this.
Its easy for someone that done it and did his research like me.

And like someone told me, get Volvo Vida its the best gift you can give yourself and the car (Have a word with cheshired5)

Keep us posted
