LL-17 FE oil question

Question to the lubricant laureates on the forum;
Just completed my oil and filter and I note it was performed using LL-17 FE+ and not the prior LL-01 FE spec oil. Is this a moving target compliance designation of lubricants and nothing to worry about? The reason for asking is that others have mentioned on the forum in the past that they have stumbled across improper lubricants being used in their F90. Thanks all!

It's fine. Just the newest. It replaced LF-14 I believe. LF-01 is still approved too. You're fine with both.
