This may sound lightweight for this forum, but Haynes says oil change refill capacity is + 0.9 US if oil cooler is drained - how do I know? Procedure doesn't say anything about draining intercooler.
Engine = B5254T / 190 hp

Not lightweight at all but my suggestion is to dump in a gallon, check the dipstick, and add until the full mark. Start the car and let the oil circulate. Shut the car off and check again. Add a bit at a time until full max on the dipstick.

Here is a write-up from Volvospeed, Bay 13 explaining how to drain the oil from the oil cooler:
