Read your owners Manual especially the non-us table regarding oil weights that are supported.
You will then realize the nonsense that is the US recommendation.

I'm in Canada... I was sifting through the pages and didn't find anything which section should I check? I did the back section and then how to change oil section and couldn't find anything other than 5w30 or any table with 'non-us tables'...

It's not even a DD it's a spirited driving machine of fun for the evening/weekends... okay maybe an occasional DD but mostly for the road trips and cruising 
It's not like I sit at 6krpm in first for an hour just because lol....

I did notice I burned about a quart over 7000km but it's parked now for the winter... just doing some pondering for spring. I appreciate your insight on experience with your oil use though.
I think I'll go with the general consensus and switch back to 5w30 but I'm also tempted to try this weight oil to see if I notice any difference or not. Atleast I have around 5 months to ponder
