I suppose I missed something in your original post. Never having owned a FWD Toyota, I can't help much. Are you afraid that they won't lock when you fold them over?

They look identical to me. Both seem to have the locking mechanism you mention.

Most Chinese food and Chinese restaurants here in the US are a garbage conglomerate run by the (who knows what). Even the delivery drivers are Chinese. I judge ALL Chinese restaurants by their Gen TSO. I have only found one place that makes it correctly, and that is (was?) the Golden Gate Rest...

I think that the hydraulic lifters bled down. Without oil in them they won't work properly. What should have happened, instead of trying to adjust the valves on dry lifters, oil pressure should have been built up first, allowing the lifters to fill. Clogged pushrods would only cause the top...

Let me guess, they won't accept credit cards?

Well, it never happened. Apparently smarter people prevailed. How about Lake Superior? :) However, it has been proposed several times over the years. As recently as 2021.

Back in the 80's I think Ross Perot wanted to build a pipeline from the Mississippi river to lake Mead, or somewhere out west. Turns out that would have been a great idea.

I guess they won't be building a data center there. Oh yeah, that's going to Salt lake city, I forgot.

Mine's long out of their stupid 4 year warranty, no issues.

Possibly some sort of special equipment spec solely for the heavy duty use, Like Amazon delivery vans. I have the same engine, but it only holds 7.5 quarts, and no separate hiding places to drain. I do all oil changes myself, and typically with an oil extractor from the topside of the engine...

I think Valvoline Restore and Protects smells a LOT better than the old Valvoline products. I know you all will laugh, but one of the reasons I avoided Valvoline oil for MANY years, was the smell. It had that sulfur/burnt smell as mentioned by OP. Worked for Ashland for many years, and that odor...

Looks like it will compete with the Honda Ridgeline to me.

Well, Valvoline restore and Protect is especially effective at cleaning piston rings, and in that regard, the oil control rings that can become clogged with hardened carbon. So if you DON'T want to consider that area specifically, you can use some kind of engine flush or general cleaning...

$20.00 a tube (3.5 ounce). Reminds me of how SilGlyde became so popular. I suppose it might be special considering the fact that Honda thinks it's better than anything else for door seals and weatherstripping. But, I'm the kind of guy that likes to find multiple uses for such specialized...

Clean what exactly?
