"energy saving" means friction modifiers have been added. All ILSAC GF oils are "energy saving", it's required to get the "starburst". Diesel and heavy viscosity oils (like M1 5W40 and 15W50) forgo the energy saving and instead have extra anti-wear additives.
M1 0W40 meets ACEA A3/B3 specs as well as GM LL 025A, making it quite suitable for your car. M1 5W40 meets API SL and CI-4 (diesel), and may be able to meet ACEA and GM LL specs, but they aren't specified on the label. Amsoil 5W40 meets 'em all except ILSAC: API SL and CI-4, ACEA A3/B3, and GM LL 025A.
