Oil for 2000 9-5 2.3T

I did my first oil change this weekend, and spent some quality time with the owner's manual trying to figure out what oil to use.
I wanted to use 5W-30 Synthetic for easy starting in upstate New York, but the manual suggested that anything that thin must be ACEA A2 or A3.
Mobil1 and Castrol Syntec are both ACEA A1. Couldn't find data on Quaker State or AMSOIL ACEA ratings on the web.
I ended up putting in the Castrol in 10W-30, which I'm sure will be fine, but I'm still curious. Are there any oils commonly available in the US that meet the ACEA A2 or A3 standards?
