Unhappy Five year Extended warranty nearly over

Next month marks the fifth anniversary of my Crossfire purchase, it also marks the end of my extended warranty with its free oil changes twice a year. This warranty also got me one rear tire that was ruined on the road by a piece of metal.
I had eight out of the possible ten oil changes so that saved a few bucks.
Saw them change the oil and put in a fleece filter yesterday for the last time. Now that Mobil 0W-30 oil is cheaper at CTC we have to find a nicely priced fleece filter, not the laughable "$40 for you" (list $60) at my local auto parts store
Total Crossfire problems in 33,000k was, two headlamp bulbs, a power seat relay that I fixed for $1.00 plus swearing and sweating, the tire and three punctures. The lifters have been a bit noisy on start up lately, strange that.
I'll expect major problems in the new year.
Edit
On closer inspection on lifting the hood I think the tapping noise is actually the fuel injectors, that makes more sense.
