[QUOTE=spdsk8race;3068648]My big question is should I get it towed to another shop, since the dealership won't do a teardown to find the actual issue without a warranty, trust the dealership, or find my own engine which I have no idea where to start on that. Toyota told me because my oil records are from jiffy lube they are valid to a out of warranty fix. Only dealership records will be accepted.[/QUOTE]

Valid to out of warranty fix? What do you mean by that?

And like said, read your manual. You have a right to have the car serviced by anyone and you also do not have to use OEM parts/fluids.
