That oil looks like that crappy foam ptuning puts in their boxes they ship the exhausts in.

 

That foam is actually really good for shipping. Much better than bubble wrap, peanuts, or those airbags. The only reason I could think of it being crappy, is that it takes forever to get the exhaust out of the box .

 

x2!! ^

 

BTW that's what oil looks like when you add water to it and run it in your engine. Did a little off roading back in the day, that's how i know... haven't done it personally

 

Or coolant, it's a tell-tale sign of a coolant leak.

 

but from where. wouldn't he have to have cracked his head to get coolant into his oil. if it was head gasket to cylinder then he would just burn the coolant before it could seep past the rings. unless it was block damage like coolant sleeve to mid engine area... then it could possibly make it's way to the oil.

 

either way it should be covered under warranty!

 

correct..should all be covered by a warrenty that what warretny are for unless they some how find and excuse thats its your fault but all geniune and nice people should work with you on this problem if they give you B.S i wouldnt deal with them

 

The engine doesn't have to run for the oil to turn to peanut butter. Just look at the water traps around any place where you go to recycle oil. Also, this happened on my last engine build. Drained the oil from the engine on a stand, then pulled the water pump. Coolant leaked out into the oil pan and a few days leter there were sections of light brown.

There was also some in the bottom of the engine oil pan. The block had been sitting in a salvage yard for over a year, so no doubt some water leaked in. There was no sludge or other buildup on any of the moving components, so I assumed water had just collected in the pan from humidity, etc as it sat, it got rained on at some point, or got contaminated when they pulled the engine.

Oil passages pretty clean and normal:


Peanut butter in the bottom of the pan:


If there's goop it may have happend when the rod broke and coolant mixed after failure.

 

they better get you a brand new tc

 

i change my motor oil every 3 months or 5k miles and uses mobile 1 and a fram filter. for the ppl who mentioned about the powertrain warranty thanks! im gonna call them tmw...thanks for the heads up

 

Threaten to sue man.

and carb X3 on the only disadvantage to the foam. great stuff for packing for sure.

 

Yeah, PTuning goes overboard on the packaging. I orded an Injen Hydroshield from them, it's jsut a sock in a bag, but they packed it in a cardboard box three times as big as it, and with padding.

it could have been air dropped in a hurricane and it would have survived.

 

haha no engine mods......
no engine lol

 

Your in Chicago, country side scion, elmurst toyota, and grossinger scoin in skokie are 3 dealerships that will most likely tell you that you overreved the engine and its your fault it blew. Just giving you a heads up on my experience with those 3 dealerships. They tried to tell me that my shaft on the s/c was ok and then later after i showed them how messed up it was, they said it was because i had a gutted cat, because less heat in the header causes shaft damage right? ;) lol

 

The dealership will say anything at first to try and get out of having to pay for it. Just gotta stand up for yourself and tell one of the managers your in the process of talking to lawyers about it then take it from there.

 

I had a lawyer send them a threatening letter, and that didn't help. Hope it works out for you man. If not its not too bad you can pick up a new engine for $600ish. There are a million camarys around lol
