ILSAC GF-6A or API SP are the latest requirements we want our oil to meet.

It depends on your goals. LL01FE IS the correct factory oil for the G30 and will maintain your warranty. But, the older LL01 has a better additive pack and a higher HTHS rating (high temperature, high shear). LL01 oils should offer better protection, but less fuel efficiency. LL01FE, with FE for "fuel efficiency" is more of a "compromise" oil.
