Looks to me like you are looking at oils that are all thinner than MB approves of, other than the 5W30.
I'd stick with 5W40 or, since you live way up north, 0W40.

You should be able to order it thru thelubricantstore.com - I THINK they sthip to Canada.
But c'mon, there must be plenty of MB products on the road up there, I'd think you can find the stuff you need SOMEWHERE locally.
