The supplement manual for the FiST says to use 5W-20. It's a dd but I push the limit as much as I can. Would a 0W-30 or 5W-30 synthetic be a better choice?
Fiesta ST is a turbo engine, ecoboost, correct?

Correct, xW-16 is on the way. Imagine, an engine lubricant in the 4-5 cSt range @ 100*C. What's next, air lubrication?
I heard years ago that Shell was working on a similar formulation. For low load engines this lube spec could prove to give quite a boost in efficiency.
Yes. With over 20 lbs. of boost!
I've heard many times that the engineers know best. Maybe they engineered something into this engine that has made it capable of running a 20 wt. A magical oil cooler or something. :??:
Hmm, so in my new husqvarna zero turn with Kawasaki 25hp engine I should use a 40 weight?

not really.. a higher quality 30 will protect it just as well as a 40. if not better.
Kawasaki's love thicker oils. I have two commercial companies that were only getting about 1000 hours before major engine problems, broken connecting rods and burning oil 1-2 qts per day caused by excessive crank pressures due to worn pistons, rings, cylinders.
Switched one company to mobil 1 15w-50 and now their engines are pushing 2500 hours.
Another company had bulk delo 15w-40 and they have started running that with the same positive results.
Thank you
LOL at the hours...only because in 8yrs I only put 124 hrs on my cub cadet.
When would you switch to synthetic? I should pick it up this week and it will be a month or two before it's first use. So I don't know if they come with synthetic from the manufacturer or not.
