I note your expertise in the matter but will retain the right to disagree with your sentiment 're Saps. I've monitored my Euro5 D5's ash levels via Vida and you'll be surprised how quick it does build up when short journeys become a necessity, even with the correct oil, but anyway that wasn't what the OP wanted to know and I see he has conceded to the general consensus on this thread, which is to buy the correct oil.
How do you check ash levels in VIDA?

For info the Car Scanner app will give both soot and ash levels.

Yes, it meets A5/B5 Volvo spec.

Your car has a euro 4 engine, so this is the correct spec to use.
