How do I know if it’s euro or not? Does Wally World carry it?

You have to do that. It is very overdue.
It’s on the label and readily available at Walmart.
Now I think she had a leak at it at some point. Is this something I can service myself? Looking into it now actually
Thanks for mentioning it. Regardless I’m going to do it on the next OCI. Just bought redline 75w140. I’ll get 2 fill and drains from that bottle. Then going forward, I’ll maintain it.
All European oils have in the back approvals. Those I mentioned are all European oils. They are more stout with stronger additive package.
I hope that ptu and transmission live long lives though they usually don't without frequent maintenance. The ecoboost, 6/8spd, and ptu all beat their oils hard.

Change the oil more often and use just don't over spend on fancy oil.
IMO Stay with mobil 1 EP 5w30 Change every 5000. Add lubromoly injector cleaner. Berryman, or Techtron to your fuel every oil change. be sure your crankcase ventilation system is working properly. Use the proper octane fuel that the engine requires. To low an octane will increase cylinder peak pressures and add to oil dilution. If you have gas /oil dilution your level should rise some at first and then may start using oil as it gets more and more contaminated. Are you using oil at any point during the OCI? If not and your oil level is consistant, it probably isnt a deep concern however these engine do get a work-out.
Pennzoil Platinum Euro L is a perfect match for what you need, and is very reasonably priced.
Is this or I should say, does this fall under the acceptable oils for that 2.0 ford engine? Her Edge is still under extended premium care.
Yep

Thanks. I’ll have to see if I can find it locally.
Walmart shelves have it
I have been using the valvoline EP for the last two to three OCIs.
How much does a euro oil differ from an EP oil such as M1, Valvoline etc? Protection wise I should say. I can see the paranoia about the calcium getting into the cat of the engine burns oil and that is a legit concern, even tho her motor doesn’t

Use a 5w30 and change the oil every 3-4k. The filter can remain for two OCIs.
If it NOW is diluting the oil, I would fix the issue with the fuel system. You say its under warranty, get it fixed. Otherwise more frequent changes should be done. There's no oil that will perform good if its diluted excessively with gas.
He’s going by smell and not by a UOA.
