Volvo 940 turbo 1996, M90 gearbox. Anybody who knows what type of oil to use? I asked Volvo, and they came up with a specific volvo number. A very expensive oil, costs almost half of my left arm...
Any better suggestion?

I'd just dump some Redline MTL in there, it'll work fine. They claim it's acceptable to use in *any* manual gearbox. I've been running it in my M46's for years, surprisingly it made shifting noticeably smoother.

I do not know the exact answer, but in my 745 and 850 the manuals clearly says what to use, i.e. specification, not Volvo part number. So what does your manual say? Then just buy a product with at least the same specs or better you get in Norway. Or ask the Volvo dealer for the specs of the suggested Volvo part number.

Seems to be trickier than I would have expected, but I think I have solved it now.
From the VADIS for the B200FT engine(?):
940/960 (M90) Oil quality ........ Volvo P/N 11 61 423-7850 (gearbox/final drive) Oil quality ........ Volvo P/N 11 61 423-7
So the 850 manual uses the same as the M90 in the 940
When looking in my 850 manual I only find the specification Dexron-II for my automatic gear box and - surprise - none for the manual gear box.
The Haynes manual says: Manual transaxle lubricant....Volvo synthetic transmission oil or equivalent. Nothing again.
I remember I have been at a website of an oil company where lubricants could be searched by car manufacturer.
I tried the Finnish oil company Neste and they have a product recommendation place on their website. You may start with
Växellåda, manuell 5/1 2,3 liter Produkt: Neste ATF-G
The product data sheet says, it is a:
NESTE ATF-G Automatic transmission oil Ford M2C-33F/G Ford SQM-2C9007AA
So I think you might find some cheaper ATF-G fluid from one of the "normal" companies where you live.
Check out yourself also, you should arrive at the same conclusion yourself, too.

The Austrian oil company OMV also has a product finder
OMV austromatic F - maybe they have more info on it if you search.

Not necessarily al oil products are expensive in Nordic countries. Teboil in Finland sells a synthetic API CI-4, CH-4, CG-4, CF-4 ACEA E7, E5, E3/B3 5-40 diesel engine oil,
