Generally the differential oils contain friction modifiers which cause issues with wet clutches. Similar reason why its not good to use car engine oil in a motorcycle due to the wet clutch - motorcycle engine oil does not contain friction modifiers. Redline and Amsoil are top rated, so if they put it in writing that their oil is compatible I'd trust that. The Redline website kind-of indicates that its compatible.

How did this go? The below thread shows some detail posted by @Wubster100

Welcome. On the purge valve - I've followed a similar path, replaced the complete assembly with a 3rd party brand, replaced just the solenoid and both had a very short life - I'm on an OEM one for about 7 months with no issues.

Welcome. What work did you do on the AC and how do believe that work was related to the low oil pressure event? What rates do you charge?

Welcome. eBay is known for counterfeit spark plugs and other components. Best get Forscan and scan for codes as the starting point in your diagnostics.

This morning's commute to work in a storm made me appreciate the rain sensing wipers - the auto change from intermittent to continuous and speed adjustment based on the need worked flawlessly.

Wow, that's more work than I'd be willing to do for that feature - turning off for me using the screen would also be an issue. I most often forget to turn it off when approaching the car was and their spray triggers the wipers and I have to scramble to turn the rain sensing off. My wife's BMW X5 is smarter - it turns off when the ignition is turned off and when you need it again with the first few rain drops you tap the button on the end of the stalk.

Yes, the rain sensor needs a clear spot. I don't think it will be easy to remove the coating in this area. Look to see if you can find the yellow and black wires seen in the below photo.

Definitely need a replacement windshield to mount the rain sensor. See the rain sensor mounting in the below thread:

Don't have any suggestions other than checking for codes with Forscan.

Welcome. I'd be surprised if it doesn't have rain sensing wipers. Could you post a photo of the windshield looking from the outside directly in front of the rearview mirror - that would confirm if you have the sensor. If it doesn't have the rain sensor you'd probably need and new windshield, the sensor and possibly other electronics. Does it have the original or a Ford OEM windshield installed?

I found it reasonably accurate.

Welcome. If you buy a reputable brand they'll be direct replacement and will not trigger fault codes. LED's beam focus may have improved in recent years, but most I've seen that installed LED's into a light assembly not designed for them typically blind the oncoming traffic with the low beams ON.
