Most people dont know crap about synthetic vs standard oil. I personally dont waste my money on the synthetic crap. You have to worry about particulates before oil breakdown on vehicles.

A turbo engine, like the ecoboost has more of a chance of sucking in particulates.

Use conventional and change at about 7000.

I had a GMC with the 5.3 that recommended OW-20 full synthetic.

I always used 15W-40 standard from my farm shop. Drove it 225k miles and traded it in, check engine light wasn't even on.
