Default S60 2005 D5 185 oil spec question

I have put Shell Helix 0W-30 Acea A5/B5 into my engine as this was recommended on euro car parts website. Now after researching more on this I found that volvo recommends ACEA A3 oil spec, unless I'm wrong as there seems to be a fair amount of conflicting info out there.

Is it safe to drive until the next oil change or should I drain it and replace with A3?

Thank you
