No such animal as Castrol Syntec 0W-40. Syntec is available in 5W-40 and 10W-40. According to the Syntec datasheet only Syntec 0W-30 meets the GM-LLA-025 spec required for the V6 and later 4 cylinder engines. However, several grades meet ACEA A3/B3 which is more than adequate as far as I'm concerned. If your car is still under warranty and you're changing your own oil I'd use an oil that meets the GM spec (and keep the receipts). If your dealer uses a synthetic that doesn't meet the spec I think you're still protected as far as warranty is concerned. My dealer only uses Mobil-1 0W-40.
