I've used the orange, the blue, etc. The car doesn't know what brand it is. I'm sure Volvo wants you to buy their re-badged fluid at a premium price of course.

I once produced and sold washer fluid and I worked as an engineer at the company that invented automotive windshield wipers.

You can absolutely use any good quality fluid. There is nothing special about OEM stuff.

The orange Rain-X fluid will be fine. Just make sure whatever washer solvent you use that it shows that it is protected to -20 degrees F.
