Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 is fine for your application. Beware of fuel dilution with the turbo engine.

The fuel dilution, is this caused by the turbo or the direct injection ?

The oil you use for EB needs to meet Ford specification WSS-M2C929-A.

Direct injection can contribute to fuel dilution.
Cold starts, extended idling and not getting engine to full operating temperature for 30 minutes or more also contribute to fuel dilution.

I have a 2012 with the EB engine. I have used Motorcraft full synthetic 5-30 from the first oil change on. I have the full service contract through Ford and I pay an additional $14 for the full synthetic. I do my oil changes every 5k. So far, I am very happy with this truck.
