What power trim fluid for 2001 Volvo SX?

[Erik-The-Red]

I've searched but come up empty. No solid answer, just folks saying "I think you can use this" or "should be able to use power steering fluid" and stuff like that. So, what do I use? Its a 2001 Volvo 3.0 SX with power trim. I'm headed to the lake in the morning and need to add some to the reservoir. Hopefully I can add PSF or ATF, because I have both. Also, is it ok to mix fluids? For example, if the reservoir has ATF in it, can I add power steering fluid without first draining all the ATF? And how full should the reservoir be with the trim all the way up (rams compressed)??

Thanks for any help!

Yeah, I looked up the Volvo manual and it says ATF is ok.

I think I have a leak in one of my hydraulic lines, so it'll need to be replaced. Apparently, the entire outdrive needs to be removed in order to do this. Sucks. I think I'll get through this season and plan to do the work over the winter.
