The ethanol free I'm using is 90. And on road trips I've been using octane boost and see good increases in MPG, cause I'm usually trying to minimize stopping to every 3-3.5 hours.

Wow I only have the Buckees 87 octane ethanol free. But doesn't mess with the oil really. What kind of mpg are you at now? But to answer your question you can use any LL01 and LL04 oil. LL04 is actually a little better of a spec. It's low SAPS and better for direct injected motors. It wasn't specced for gas due to US regulations. EPA wanted lower ZDDP numbers so it was limited with gas motors but diesel were exempt. It's why in Europe they run LL04 but in the US they did LL01. Also had to do with sulfur levels but now the US fuels are perfectly fine to run LL04 oil. So I've been doing QS Euro 5w40 which definitely runs smoother than the 0w20. Pennzoil Platinum Euro is a 5w30 that's LL04. Hard to argue with the QS price. I change every 5k miles and filter every 10. I plan on keeping my guy forever and I'm also running a tune. I'll probably retire with this guy in 20yrs lol.
You’re changing 100 bucks in oil on a 1/2 lifecycle, but you’re saving the soaked 10 dollar filter, that presumably is doing its job to clean the oil you want to get rid of.
