I previously had toyotas that lasted a long time w/no engine problem. I even had my oil change prior to my trip so I can't say I didn't have any oil.
Made a noise starting idling weird hadn't even warmed up the car yet just drove up the street to store real quick when came back. Sounding like poop and checked everything milky oil a sign of a head gasket. Ps it happened on my birthday last year. It really
