@40Man, looks like your formula is a tad dated. The latest recipe includes some 0W-40, resulting in an additional 50k miles or so.
I say "some" because the volume specified is actually varied based on the sun's Direct Normal Irradiance for your particular driving climate.
I have about 20k miles of 5W-30. Happy. Even bought a "5W-30" oil cap for my engine. No discernible performance or MPG change. Engine is quieter, especially after a brief warm-up.
Ok, thanks for 'splaining. I thought it was a button that encourages you to rear-end the vehicle in front of you...I didn't want my wife to know about that option. I could almost hear her now: "your fault, you must've left the rear-collision system on again...the vehicle did this on its own."
Ok, so this option still shows up, right? If so, it's probably not your RSE computer under your passenger seat. I'd chase wet plugs behind the foot panel. Of course, all of this is predicated on your rain/fail/dry/work observations. Both the amp and RSE are bracketed slightly off the...
Amp is under driver's seat. If you have RSE, its computer is under the passenger seat, and, like the amp, it'll disable your entire system if it goes on the blink. However, if those are getting wet, then you have a bigger problem, like a hole in the floor!
I recall some posts in the past...
@okcfunky, there are significantly better options you might consider, if not already...

I'm answering my own question. Yes. The 2-digit code in the display (13) corresponded with the TYT II tool (C1713). Sensor replaced. All good. So, if you don't have a fancy code...

Now I'm at 151k. So, almost 20k miles later, 26 months later, black vehicle, Texas heat, repair still looks the same (repair method linked above). No failure yet. (Now that I'm...
I need a second opinion. I was checking my transmission fluid level (thus vehicle is in diagnostic mode), and I noticed there was an AHC Code 13. Is this the same as code C1713? I think so based on this snip:
A few of you have asked about my front grille color scheme...
Everything was painted (by me). Just some AZone paint. When I bought the truck, I had to take the front bumper off to chase a few broken brackets. While I had the bumper off, I took the grille apart (everything snaps together, a few...
