"I believe that’s actually against the law in the US (the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act). Toyota cannot refuse warranty work just because you take your car elsewhere for service. I believe it is also mentioned in the owners manual."

Here is another example of this happening:
"I have a seized 2013 BRZ from lack of oil. Subaru refused to acknowledge the warranty"

The determining factor they didn't want to battle and agreed to settle was the fact the oil light never came on. Not when there was a little missing, a lot missing, or no oil period. I have proof from a reputable shop regarding that as well.

So new motor it is!

We are again at the "had it done someplace else" and "proving I had it done someplace else". In the case you mention here the dealer had no record of it being done. I make bloody sure I get a print out from them every time just in case a computer error occurs!
