Talk with the builder to stick within warranty requirements.

I would flush the system and run Dexcool. It most likely at some point was taken to a quick lube shop and they flushed the system with a universal coolant.

Probably a counterfeit, Walmart sells AC Delco filters for like $4, I never recommend buying oil filters on Amazon unless sold & shipped by Amazon.

If you are using the correct grade of oil for your vehicle outside of repairs or current on going issues then switching to 5w30 should not bring down wear metals on a healthy engine. I would suspect due to you just having repair work assuming it was done correctly that is probably where the...

I often notice when people switch oils there is a small increase in wear metals temporarily, that is the pattern I have been seeing with UOA's.

GM Genuine/AC Delco, they are cheap on Rock Auto.

I would run Quakerstate Full Synthetic High Mileage 5w30 or Mobil 1 Full Synthetic High Mileage in it and do not go beyond 5,000 miles, with a 5.4 3v you should really be sticking to the 3500 range unless you do mostly highway miles then you could potentially push it further.

As long as it meets the specification of your manufacturer it doesn't matter the brand. Honda doesn't manufacture it's own coolant, it is likely made by Peak or Prestone to begin with. Although me personally I do prefer to run OEM in Asian vehicles. I don't think there is really any evidence...

Is this a dual or single smoke detector?. I always recommend dual which has photelectric and ionization built in. Photoelectric seems to be a bit more sensitive in my experience which is obviously a good thing but also can be a bad thing too close to area with even the slightest smoke. You...

A high mileage oil will not hurt your engine as long as it meets the specifications. You can run high mileage in a new engine.

Me personally I prefer Roku, but Firestick/FireTV makes sense for people who are long term Amazon users and use Amazon devices.

Can't really go wrong with either of them, I experimented with oils a little bit recently, QS, Mobil 1, and Valvoline, all the high mileage versions in 5w30. My 4.3 Vortec didn't care which oil, typical these engines are never picky. My 1MZ-FE Toyota on the other hand was quietest with the...

And my opinion still stands.

I had a free oil change at a Chevy dealer one time and the oil filter wasn't even hand tight and they didn't fill the oil up to full. I do not trust dealerships or even quick lube shops.

I would do it every 40-45k, stick with the correct fluid, do not use any universal stuff.

4.3 Vortec LU3 Mobil 1 High Mileage 5w30, AC Delco PF47E (Previously FRAM Endurance, but I decided I am sticking to OEM going forward) 1MZ-FE Mobil 1 High Mileage 5w30, Toyota 90915-YZZD1 5K/6 Month intervals on both.

I use Duralast Gold (Brand New) on my vehicles including my Toyota, never had an issue.

I always recommend going with the correct fluid, but Walmart usually has Valvoline Dexron VI (Not maxlife/universal) and obviously Supertech at good prices. As long as it is officially licensed fluid it doesn't matter which brand you choose go with the cheapest licensed option you can find.

This is a Dexron VI transmission right? or am I mistaken?. If so O'reilly's offers officially licensed Dexron VI for a fair price. But FCP Euro might have a good deal for you if you browse around.

Ford was having cam phaser and timing chain issues for well over a decade as well as spark plug blow out/seize issues, these aren't cheap trucks but yet they are the #1 selling truck in America, even then. So again #1 selling means absolutely nothing in terms of quality, and you can use this...
