Engine Noise Problems of Toyota Camry Hybrid

Went to get an oil change from Toyota dealerships - the oil consumption test were run and it detected normal (tested twice because inconclusive). The check engine light went on when traveling out of state, there was no indication of lose of engine oil and then car made a strange sound. Vehicle stopped on the bridge, it sounded like something was bragging with the engine. The vehicle was moving and presented not signs of problems when this incident occurred, the vehicle was normally serviced at dealerships and have always responded to updates. The motor did not show signs of wear or tear, was taken into the dealership for service and did not know of the excessive oil consumption. The vehicle is now located in virginia beach, the mileage is over 260,000 and to have the vehicle towed back to my residence would be too costly. The vehicle repairs have been estimated to cost $3000 to repair the motor and more to replace the motor.

Engine sludge: engine started making a noise, so took it to a Toyota dealership. They inspected it said it had engine sludge. They told me I never changed my oil and I used the wrong viscosity, I used 5w30 instead of 5w20 recommended, not required recommended. Thin oil is mandated by federal standards for mileage purposes only. I change my oil every 5000 miles, and told them so. At that time they told me I needed the engine rebuilt, it will cost $8000 or 9000 to fix it. And then they voided my warranty. I have since taken the car to another dealership, I was told it had a bad coil, it was only running on 3 cyl. They replaced all the coils, they said it ran great for about ten minutes, then it started running worse than before. They contacted corporate Toyota to find a fix, they told them to cease working on it, and put it back the way it came in that the warranty was void. Since this happened I have numerous complaints on the internet about Toyota's engine sludge problems. Going back as far as 1996.
