0w-30 availability ?

2014 F56s
My next oil change is due and on my last one, the first I did on this car since owning it, I used

Castrol EDGE Euro 0W-30 A3/B4 Advanced Full Synthetic Motor

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007G7PUMS?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_ti tle_1

Car seemed much happier with it than what was in the car but I dont know what was in the car. it warmed up a bit faster and dropped into idle sooner than before I changed the oil. I would like to use 0w-30 again but I dont seem to be able to find any that meet the cars specs or .. I just dont know what I am looking for.

That particular oil seems to be out of stock everywhere and I am not married to that brand but in general finding 0w-30 has been difficult, all the sites I go to including ECS recommend 5w-30

Can someone suggest a quality 0w-30 or do I just go over to the 5w even though the manual and my car seem to run suggest 0w-30
