I think this is the nail in the coffin regardless of what oil or filter was used. Looking at the gear ratio chart posted, not saying this is what happened, it's probable that you are at the top of 5th and going to grab 6th but money shifted into 4th instead. I wonder if there is a delay in the ECU registering gear selection hence the gear read out was 5th instead.
Rather than lawyering up, i will request to review the "black box" data that was retrieved and challenge that. However, i feel this is a extremely slim chance.

The "gear" indication is an ECU calculation. There are no sensors listed in the parts.
The oil filter probably has nothing to do with the failure but it doesn't matter it is an easy out for them.
Who are you going to ask to do a review of the black box? The dealer? They are not going to change their minds and a deeper dive could find even more damning info. Tackling one aspect of this mess isn't going to resolve anything anyway.
