People using their OLM to gauge when to change the oil past 5K are really misunderstanding the meter. It is there to tell you IF you need to change it sooner than 5K only - has nothing to do with extending mileage past the 5K recommended oil changes - per the manual ;)

It could be worse - had a 97 Dodge Ram 4 x 4 Sport that was a bird magnet ... Much bigger mess than bugs, believe me. As far as the Mav goes Rainx as a deterrent and a used dryer sheet to effortlessly take the bugs off, is working fine for me.

What kind of 3m Tape ? There are choices... I replace all the add-ons - automatically with this style before install - i believe a lot of the china stuff is actual butyl tape with a red liner to look like 3m - worth a shot as mine has never failed (though I do not have the spoiler)...
"For What It's Worth"
Think about IT
Predicting 2026 pricing (of anything) is a fantasy based in Speculative fiction - as is most absorbed into WWW (known as the internet)
Logical Thinking, and Reality based cognitive skills will prevail ... till then ...
Most would do better without -...
No doubt the manual is not the best I've ever seen - but like everything lately you get less for more - effort and product. Probably had some proprietary AI system spit it out to save some overhead. Just my thoughts and maybe not yours.

Had a 22 XL 2.0 AWD 36K - Never an issue - even while ignoring the numerous recalls ;) Totalled for undercarriage damage -
2 4 XLT 4k 2.0 AWD 6.5K - Don't anticipate an issue let alone had one - no recalls since owning (3/25) which is a winning streak compared to the 22 lol
Passed on 25 due...
