Don't conflate this particular oil with the entire lineup; it's formulated specifically, and only recommended for, the 2.0L Atkinson-cycle cars (Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid, C-Max).
Maximizing efficiency in a new engine design, and minimizing wear (BiTOG standards here...) in a 10+ year old, timing-chain equipped 1ZZ-FE are different formulation considerations.
Being first & last owners of all my vehicles, I would never use a semi-synthetic 0W-20 for 9.5K, on a vehicle that was 12 years-old. Your Blackstone report was just so-so.
