a brand new build one would probably be ok for running in, but then wants changing for proper fully synthetic stuff. the focus wrc is a TOTALLY differnt engine with almost 20 years of admancement in engine technology being it and it too has its oil changed after every event which might only be a few hundred miles for example.
