I cheat....

Since my car is off warranty, I'm free to use any oil I like - I use Esso XD3 Synthetic 0W-40. Super quality, inexpensive at Canadian Esso bulk dealers, and seems to work well according to a couple of oil analyses I've had done myself and many I've viewed on places inhabited by crazy people (see bobistheoilguy.com). But does not have the ACEA rating since it's mainly intended for a commercial/agricultural market that doesn't care about such things.
So I can't tell you where to get any in Canada! But my '01 owners manual does specifically say 0W-x is good as long as it has the ACEA A3/B3 rating. I know the German-made Castrol 0W-30 has A3/B3 and it's available at Canadian Tire for an obscene price.
