1) Makes life easier and I would say yes. My 2GR Toyota wants the engine dropped for a simple water pump replacement. Good techs figured a work around soon enough.
2) What automaker doesn't have phaser issues?
3) I do expect shocks/struts to last, and usually don't replace my struts/shocks/springs until 150k miles. Wonder if there was an issue, or simply to help the tech make a good days pay for the underpaid warranty work. I tend not to argue with tech/service writer when getting big dollar repairs and they toss in some possibly unneeded extras and fluff for a couple bucks.
What grade oil? Time to climb the HTHS ladder.
What filter? Pick another one.
Interval... its sad that I'd recommend 5k instead of 6k
Dumpster fire.... sad comment but extremely truthful. I just don't know what the automakers are doing. All seem to be guilty too often with various issues.
