Just the Ultra. It replaced the extended guard and the rest are junk.

You dont want that old valvoline. Its junk! I will gladly dispose of it for you in my vehicles for free.

M1 0w40

Maxlife is a good oil but probably not best for this app. I would recommend a synthetic. If you like Valvoline, Synpower is a great oil otherwise PP or M1 in a 0wXX would probably be my pick.

Where I live you can buy 8 ft sections of wood fencing for about $40. Its six feet tall and noone can see in. Check your lowes or homedepot.

You want at least 1200 ppm of zinc and 1000 ppm of phosphorus for mild performance or aircooled applications. If your talking about an engine with a really aggressive flat tappet and dual springs you might look into a race oil for lower detergent levels. Calcium tends to try and strip off ZDDP...

Since you already dumped the factory fill extremely early what ever break in additives it may or may not of had are gone so its not going to benefit at all pushing this fill any further. Go ahead and dump it now to get rid of the break in metals and use the oil of your choice. PU will serve you...
