Why people are so often confusing is something I don't know.
There are people who swear one way or another (Genuine Volvo fluid vs other).
Get the Toyota T-IV (Type-IV) or the 20l keg from Germany.

Go back and read post #339 of this thread. 'Twas written by a thoughtful and caring person.

I would have been putting genuine Volvo in myself if my main stealer hadn’t been trying to ‘get the arm in’ with their pricing. I only have a choice of 2 dealers due to it being fluid and shipping being an issue from reasonable dealers who use this site but I know they can sell me it at a reasonable price which is more than the Toyota stuff and still make money.

Read my post too, I appreciate you say that the Toyota stuff is the same, the Volvo stealer states Dexron 3 is the correct lube for my car. Still can’t see any mention of a filter, some say adaptations are required using VIDA, some say not. A lot of variables.

The link to the German stuff says No Longer Available. I’m going to call the Toyota dealer now. Shipping to me will cost extra for both.
Toyota dealer wants £135 for 15 litres.

I used JWS 3309 back in 2015 £41.71 for 20 litres delivered from germany
Jws3309 fluid can be used in a unit which uses dextron 3. But not the other way round.

Used 17 litres to flush and fill the gearbox, it's all working perfectly two and half years later.

Is the PetroCanada synthetic available over there?
Your T-IV comes to US$12 per litre.

My scheme of smuggling transmission fluid to the UK has just been revived.

Bet you it is the same stuff - just a different container..

Maybe they buy it from the German guy and just transfer it to a different container - still a decent profit margin:
