Update: the passenger side axle pop out so that the car lost power. my mechanic just tight it up, it could be driven now. But if it is safe to drive this car?

A joint in the front right axle may have snapped. http://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo-cv-axle-shaft-front-right-s60-v70-w-auto-transmission-empi-80-4584 It is a possible cause. :) I found the video when my car was failing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogFdgGxTp4A Please listen to the noise.

I still like this one best. http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/atf.aspx
