Any data available on this Warren relabel? I used this in my previous Fiesta Titanium but am curious as to the blend of this before I throw it into my new ST. I'm sure it's fine but I'd love to see how solid the Warren syn is.
 
ok link didnt work , go to the apqi website and select proline in the synthetic section

Been using proline in the tarus on the road as a sales car for me 75-80 mph all day long with out a whimper

What is the factory fill? Does the manual recommend a syn oil? Warren products are fine oils . These days It would be hard to pick a bad oil from the major oil companies with the proper rating.
 
Factory fill is Motorcraft semi-syn but curiously enough, Ford of America runs that in while worldwide they're filled with synthetic. It's not a bad oil at all, but I'm obliged to run a synthetic due to my driving habits and it being a turbocharged motor that is prone to blow-by. I'm just now err...starting to have fun now that I've broken in the motor gently and I do plan on autocross this spring.

The specs don't look too terrible at all but I'm extremely picky as it is a high performance application. And it's so much cheaper than the other syn blends at my price.

I will also note that I have exactly 1337 miles on the car. The reason I bring this up is that obviously I'd like to get the break in metals out asap

Why are syns recommended world wide? I always wonder what exactly is syn oil these days. Todays oils are so good as compared to the oils from the 1960, 70 ,and 80's

With my Pep account, it's $1.90 a quart right now and for a syn that's pretty good if the stuff holds true. Seemed to be in the non turbo hatch. Not that I knock the Motorcraft semi-blend but with my driving habits and type of vehicle, I'd rest a bit easier with a full synthetic.
 
I personally went with Castrol Magnatec 5W-20 and factory Motorcraft oil filter, dumped the factory oil at 150 miles. I've been happy with the decision. 2016 Fiesta ST.
