Car help...

Looks like head gasket. I read online some dude posted same exact issue and it was a head gasket. It's in a process of being cracked.

Looks like after changing the oil, technician ran the engine too hard, overheating and cracking the gasket, that's why when I picked my car up, I smelled very strong burnt rubber smell in my cabin.

My family owns 5 car dealerships so I have always been around them, sounds like you may have had an overfill. If it were the head gasket you'd notice antifreeze in the oil well, your oil looks clean, the fact it is not smoking now means the excess oil was likely burned off. BTW, you are wasting your time at the dealership, you will just get the run around and denials.

That's what I figured. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

There is literally no chance this is the case.

Drive a little further and go to town and country toyota on South Blvd. Ive had nothing but great experiences with them.

I second this. Bought a used truck from them several years back. The used car manager told me that selling a car and having the buyer enjoy the experience so that they would tell their friends about it. Was worth more than a full page ad in the newspaper

In case you want to branch out your new business down the road....

 

Growing up we had a 73 Duster that would occasionally stall because chipmunks kept storing acorns and building nests in the air intake. One time we took the lid off it and the little fugger jumped out and my mom fainted at the intersection we stalled at. It was pretty embarrassing.

 

My dad actually still has that car ....guess he didn't want the chipmunks to be homeless.

The dude who changed my oil, spilled oil all over engine. So my car was burning off excess oil.

 

I was coming in here to tell you that's what happened.

 

 

And for the love of everything holy, get someone else to work on your car...as in a great local mechanic, not the dealership.

 

 

Moving the engine to get leaves out.....that may be the best i have ever heard.
