I pulled the plug, did not want to take the chance of the free shipping disappearing.. $32 total, not bad for a 6-pack of full synthetic 5w-40... Their "FMX" marketing looks like it has some merit- We may see higher levels of ZDDP than normally found, especially in 5w-40 and other weights not bound by SM/SN requirements.
The pour point, viscosity index and other attributes look just as good or better as the top tier synthetics on the market.
This could be a real sleeper oil, could become a favorite as long as the price holds.

begin marketing tidbit from Warren's website:
"Mag 1's new technology products with FMX contain a version of High Phos retention ZDP (HPR ZDP) that keeps the phosphorous and zinc in the oil for much longer periods of time throughout the drain interval. While an important benefit in newer cars will be emissions systems protection, new and old cars alike will benefit in terms of camshaft wear performance durability. This means the oil will maintain its zinc and phosphorous much longer than before, and thus provide extended wear performance vs. previous API specification lubricants- all while maintaining current API specifications and licensing. We will be treating all of our Mag 1 oils over and above the levels required by the API and are taking the formulations to the maximum levels of Zinc and Phosphorous allowed by law. Our new FMX Synthetics will be taking this several steps further by using additional technology to reduce Camshaft wear by up to 56% vs. standard API GF-4 oils, using industry standard test.
In actuality, we have changed the formulation in use on our current Mag 1 oils but simply not changed the labeling yet. If you need to change your oil, we recommend using our current spec Mag 1 motor oils instead of oil additives, even our own."
