I have been told by a turbo guru that lower viscosity dissipates heat quicker, which is good. In my '88, 15W M1 runs a full 20C hotter than 10W30 and it's getting a little cool here!
I don't think 0W40 is available in Canada.
The previous owner used Castrol Syntec, and upon inspection there are certain areas with varnish, pretty sporatic though. I've been using M1 and Royal Purple for 85 000km.
