They advised me that the freeze frame data was pulled with a code P0303 and it just records it when an active code is thrown at the moment its thrown. But at the time of failure, my car did not have a misfire at all and still doesnt. It was idling fine when i pulled over before i realized it was oil. So i know that code wasnt specifically thrown in relation to this failure, but another time and just happened to be the last in the system.

Those are read in two completely different ways, and environmental conditions where the car is located can cause wide swings from "recorded official temperature".

Definitely not relying on it, but when you throw it in with all the other factors it definitely doesnt hurt my case haha.

If the consumer protection bureau is unable to get Toyota to do anything and advocate for you, you need to seek damages here. You have been wronged.

I am working on finding a good local lawyer that is willing to help.
