Brand doesn't matter much. Any name brand one is fine. 5W30 or 5W40.

Volvo recommends Castrol. I went with a 5W30. Had to remove the air intake (plastic piece) to get the filter out. The thing I like about this design is, no mess. This is my first Foreign car. So far, so good.

I know they recommend Castrol, but it really doesn't matter. All oils have to meet certain specifications. But Castrol is fine.
