I am looking for an ALTERNATIVE to Motul Trophy 300V 0W-40. It's fantastic but has a short life span and is also prohibitively expensive.
I am in a warm but not boiling hot summer climate. It's not like Arizona / Cali or anything crazy.
Temperate during use will range outside from 15c to 25c on average
I am running forced induction and 0W-40 is recommended
Please provide evidence as to why your suggestion is good .. or I can just do the research I guess

Well empower-auto, here’s some info to consider: there is Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-40 SRT Motor Oil which was developed in-conjunction with Chrysler SRT engines BUT we also have a Pennzoil Platinum Euro 0W-40 Motor Oil which meets Fiat, Mercedes Benz and VW gasoline engine specifications.
However, our manuals show that your 2013 Scion FR-S engine wants a SAE 0W-20 motor oil. With that said, we would recommend Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20 with PurePlus Technology for your application. In case you're unfamiliar with our new product line up, any products with the PurePlus Technology name are formulated with our patented gas-to-liquid process which converts natural gas into a base oil with lower friction, and greater stability than conventional motor oil made from crude base oil. Hope this helps! - The Pennzoil Team
