It’s a great all-around oil if you don’t need extra ZDDP for some reason.I'm with @john_pifer. If it were mine I'd run ESP 5W30 in it.

Sweet looking ride
I would just use penzoil ultra for rest of it life
Bronco Sport are the Ford Escape/Focus with a different body. Not to take anything away from Timinbovey, I mean, look at my signatureThat new Bronco looks awesome. I really like the color.
How do you like it? Is it comfortable? Performance?
I have always said that if I were to buy an SUV it would be a Jeep GC. To HE** with that. I want a bronco just like yours. If they had Blue I would choose that color.
B.O.F, YOU want the new Ford "fullsize" BRONCO ...
OP:
Did you go in that Music and Records Store? - looks like a cool place to hang out !
My buddy is BOG into "vintage" audio - ask his wife - he's buying up everything good in a 100 miles radius!

And thems is bringin' it!
One of my recent car magazines (I can't remember if it was MT, C&D, R&T or Automobile) did a story that included this new Ford Bronco which had some torturous use.....they were very impressed with the Bronco's ability to take the abuse without a hiccup IIRC (I didn't read the entire story because I had 3 months of mags to peruse after 'snowbirding' for the winter).....
I'd use Mobil 1, PP etc....in the required weight....

Which Bronco? the Sport is just the Escape re-bodied - the Bronco is related to the Ford Ranger PU.
So where the CUV Sport would die from "torture", the FS bronco may live - being PU truck based.
Funny that people buy stuff based on looks; I guess the boys are tired of the "Girly" looking stuff,
Enjoy the highway Aerodynamics of pushing a box through the wind.
I Admit to enjoying the spaciousness of a classic two- box design and a cabin with a near upright windscreen.

My Ford manual recommends MC Syn Blend but says the alternate oil in Canada is 5W-20 MC Full Syn. So it's all a grain of salt....

The synthetic blend has been a recommendation by Ford for many years. It’s not just specific to the 3 cylinder engine. Here is the oil recommendation for the 2021 Ford Mustang 5.0. I would go straight to full synthetic. Ford doesn’t care if you don’t make it to 200,000 miles.
Wow! That is one chic looking Mini-Bronc. That candy red makes me want to try and taste it...
I'd try at first Pennzoil Dexos-1 Platinum/Ultra Platinum 5w-30. It's a thin but strong 30 weight that's pretty darn close to a 20 weight. I use the PP in a friend's Focus 4-pot N/A in 5w-30 that calls for Dino 5w-20 Motorcraft. He reports no issues and no MPG impact. We dump her out according to manual, every 5k miles w/new spin on filter.
If it responds well, my go to after that would be mobil-1 0w-30 AFE, or 5w-30 EP. They are all great performing oils that are tough enough for a stressed, boosted engine application with a relatively heavily loaded chassis and about as aerodynamic as a cinder block on tall wheels. (Which is to say, not at all)
I think FoMoCo's recommendations (this is personal opinion now) are purely for lower cost of ownership and making the vehicle appear to be simply easier to maintain. But I just can't scoot my boots over the line at all if I was held at gunpoint to drop organic or organic blended oils into a hyper-strung, mega-hot, turbo boosted engine. It doesn't make a lick of sense to me.
