Volvo FMX service
What each system holds and when Volvo says to change it, with genuine filters and oils. The oil grade for your build is in its operator's manual.

Fluid: Volvo engine oil to VDS-3 (Volvo sells it as SAE 15W-40 and 10W-40) (Volvo Service Bulletin 175-09 'Lubrication service and oil changes', FM/FH/NH/FL/NL (12.05))
Volvo's oil interval depends on the operating condition, not just distance. The bulletin covers the Euro 3 D13A; Euro 5 and 6 engines need the grade in the truck's own handbook.
The FMX works at full load on sites and hills; old oil lets soot and wear metal through the bearings of an engine that costs more than the rest of the service history together.
Confirm fluid grades in your machine's operator's manual: they vary by build year and climate.
