Default What oil type should I use in my car?

I have a 2002 Volvo S60 2.4T with 115k on it. I'm running valvoline 10w-30 semi-synthetic blend. What does the factory spec call for? I was looking into maybe getting the shell Rotella t6 5w-40. I don't floor it or hot rod this car by any means. I also live in Indiana so I don't know if climate will have any effect.

Volvo recommends use of of ILSAC oil specification GF-2 5W-30. I haven't any problems with the Indiana climate using Mobil 1.
