Even expensive oil is cheap. Use a good filter and go ahead and change that at the recommended intervals and do sump drain and fill at half intervals and you'll be fine.
You can go hard core penny pitcher and put a drain valve on and swap out a quart at half the interval and pull a sample, chart it out, and figure out what the ideal replacement rate is and never actually do a full oil change. Thats the fun stuff.

Got a link to where to do this?
Speed diagnostics or Polaris laboratories is where I’d send it. Don’t use blackstone as I’ve heard how they measure fuel dilution is incorrect

Might also check with any local big truck or heavy equipment shops. Most of them should have a vendor set up for running samples.

Id probably do Mobil1 ESP 0w30as top choice. It has high HTHS stability which is great for turbos. After that Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30.
Carquest premium oil filter with service intervals of 5k miles. If youre worried about cleaning engine do a few rounds of valvoline restore and protect 5w30 then ESP

That's interesting. I've never even seen an ecoboost engine beyond the tag on the side of the truck and I know nothing about them. Smaller european turbocharged engines (volkswagen for example) like 5w-40 oil, and I would think it would be excellent for a direct injected turbocharged pickup engine as well. What is different about them that pushes them towards 0w30?
