There is a drain plug and a filling plug. You basically need to use a funnel.

remove the bottom plug. (drain) Open the "level" plug to vent it. use a hose not thicker than a cm and fix a funnel on it. I used a thin tube, bent a curve on it and stuck it in the level hole, on the front side, half way the height of the box. With a piece of gardenhose i coupled my funnel to this hose and filled (fix the drain plug first) I used original volvo oil (rediculas expensive, like 65 euro's for a complete refil= 5 liters or so) fil until the oil is getting out of the level/refil plug. Not too much, or your drive way looks messy for weeks.
