You're also using an unapproved oil so that might have something to do with it. M1 isn't LL-01 oil anymore, not that I think its critical, but something to consider.

Thanks for the response! Is there anything I should be concerned about with disconnecting the battery? Any settings that might reset or anything?
Don't close the trunk with the battery disconnected. It happens to people.
Place an object (towel) over the latch.
