Not sure what you mean, since that Ravenol IS Ford spec'ed oil. Ford WSS-M2C946-A according to the Owner's Manual. So what's your question then?
With the all-PAO formula, and additional dexos1 Gen2 qualifications on top of the Ford WSS-M2C946-A spec you ignored, the oil qualifies for better wear protection and fewer deposits, if one wants that. You might not want any of that, and it's your choice.
I know the -B1 versions of the Ford specs didn't exist when the 2016s came out, but I'm pretty sure Ford recommends them for all Ecoboosts now.
My take would be to get an oil with a -B1 spec for any Ecoboost, but I am also Mr. Conservative about LSPI.
I thought the SN Plus oils were supposed to help LSPI, and almost every oil now is that grade, including cheaper ones.
