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 ... :)

agreed. forced induction cars generated lots of heat and thus needs to have oils that will only break down a extremely high temperatures, even those performance cars that do not have FI, compression will generally be hgiher too. As for the Mobil 1 sold at Giant not being extended life oil, no proble at all, extended life are meant for 15,000 miles (24,000km) we can only use it for 10,000km or else our warranty might be voided by TCM. ;D

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
