Default power steering fluid

can i use valvoline syn/power steering fluid in my '04 xc90?

the 03' and 04' manuals say ATF. the '05-'07 manuals say synthetic ps fluid. i found some posts (other models) that said volvo swithched in to syn ps fluid '99. were the 03' and 04' xc90's late to switch? or was this just a typo in the the 03' and 04' manuals?

relevant posts recommending synthetic power steering fluid over ATF:

post stating that atf will burn up the pump

The valvoline synthetic is what you need to use.
Yes in 1999 they switched to that stuff in all models.
