it's good average run of the mill oil that has D1G3, API SP, and GF-6A approvals/licenses. It's nothing fancy but it gets the job done.

Why would you ever need to do an emergency oil change?
I personally just changed the oil in my turbo Subie (FA20DIT) with Kirkland Signature 5W-30 Dexos 1 (ONE) Gen 3, which IS tested to mitigate LSPI.
When I researched this several years ago, the Dexos 2 (not gen 2) was spec'd by GM for their small turbos, but then they changed it to Dexos 1 due to LSPI. I would personally stick with D1G3 if you have a small turbo engine with direct injection. If you don't have direct injection, then D2G2 will likely be more robust.
Also, you may encounter archived information as D1G2 has been superseded by D1G3, it still retains the SP rating, but it is blue instead of green.
That said, it's unsure how this relates to the ILSAC rating, as I can't find it anywhere on the ELOCS.
To be safe, you may just want to stick with the ACEA rating.
TL;DR stick to the manual.
