Recently my car sees more city driving. So I want to switch oils.

Should I run do 0-30 or 0-40??
Why does someone need to run 0-40 oil in Ontario - US Midwest & Eastern states ?

Also should we be religious about LL-01? or Should we pay more attention to ACEA A3/B4 or some MB designation that are more common on oils( such as MB 229.5)?
I know we should avoid LL-04 because of sulphur.
