unfortunatly they can and will use any excuse to deny warantee, then you have to prove otherwise and often expensive and timeconsuming process, that is not 100% you will win, take the easy way return it to stock its generally easier cheaper and less hassle even if yoy know its not related.
same deal on doing your own work they will use it against you , you may win you may not even if you did it properly the onus of proof is on you. that you did everything by the book,
most times its not worth the trouble or risk

My dealer (Subaru) told me straight up: "NO PROBLEM with TRD parts".
Other's experience may vary.
And re: doing periodic maintenance yourself - I still use the dealer for the required maintenance interval work so they cannot question it later.
My experience comes from the late 90s Camry engine "sludge problem".
Many people were denied engine replacement under warranty because the oil changes were not performed at the dealer.
The ones who had the oil changes done by the dealer got new engines
