Engine Grade Difference

Fully Synthetic   Characteristics
0W-30  Enhances engine performance and power
0W-40  Fuel economy savings
5W-40  Ensures engine is protected from wear and deposit build-up
           Ensures good cold starting and quick circulation in freezing temperatures
           Gets to moving parts of the engine quickly

It means all the above all have similar characteristics

Semi-synthetic   Characteristics
5W-30   Better Protection
10W-40  Good protection within the first 10 minutes after starting out
15W-40   Roughly three times better at reducing engine wear
             Increased oil change intervals - don't need to change it quite so often

Mineral   Characteristics
10W-40 Basic protection for a variety of engines
15W-40   Oil needs to be changed more often

Lorddraco:
Oil type     Typically used in....
5W-30   Cooler climates, like Sweden
10W-40   Temperate climates, like England
15W-50   Hot climates, like Italy, Spain, Egypt (Singapore???)

IMHO, flash point of the oil is more important when it comes to choosing the oil for your ride, if you take a look at the US site for mobil, the extended life 5w30 has a 230

Lorddraco:
Well ... agreed in some sense.  ;D

Just bascially I found that those sold in Giant aint extended life de. And from knownledge I do know higher performance car always uses 50 min.

For me ... I stick to 40 ... :)
