What oil to use in Canada ?

I have read every thread on the forums about different oils, unfortunately most of them oils I can't find anywhere in Calgary, Alberta , Canada .
What are most of you guys from Canada using for oil?
I was thinking of just sticking with subarus oil .

Any help is muchly appreciated .

I know for sure that Wal-Mart has a synthetic 0w20 oil. Saw it there myself a few days back.
Parts source has Mobile 1

I'm from Ontario, and my local Walmart has the Mobil 1 0W20. So does Canadian Tire and the local Subaru dealer. For my next oil change, I will be ordering some Amsoil signature series 0W20, and will probably stick with that.

The Wal-Marts in Calgary are always out of Mobil1. We have too many car enthusiasts here.

Just get Mobile1 from Crappy Tire when it's on sale. They are often on sale $41 for 5 liters.

Toyota 0W-20 is very thin at startup when compared to other oils, which will work well for Canadian winters (or year-round).
