My V6 engine blew up. But why?

2004 V6 with 255k miles was running perfectly. I backed up about 100 feet to park it in front of my house. 2 hours later a big pool of oil is under the engine. Openned the hood and oil everywhere over the top of the engine, radiator reservoir and out the tail pipe. The engine ran without any knocking or grinding sounds.

What was the cause and how does the oil cover the top of the engine, in the cooling system and out the tail pipe?

 

Was the oil recently changed, or added to?

Is the fill cap missing?

Is the filter properly attached?

 

No idea.
Not enough information.
And some of it makes no sense......

Oil on the ground?
Oil on top of the engine?
And oil out the tail pipe.........?

 

How does oil get to the tailpipe without being burned?

 

The oil and filter was changed about 1,000 miles ago.
Filler cap was on.
Filter was secured. Used OEM.

 

Sounds like somebody has a Mad Girlfriend..

 

It didn't make any sense.
Oil pour to the ground from all the oil that was accumulating on the top of the engine.
Oil was in the cooling system also.
"And oil out the tail pipe.........?" that's what I said.

 

How much oil is inside the engine?

 

5-1/2 quarts.

 

I think Gorgerunner was asking how much is in it now?

 

Didn't bother to check. The guy that was going to buy the truck for $8,500 offered me $2,500. I accepted and he drove it away.

 

Even Tacoma's don't run forever but its easy to think maybe they do. Gave up the ghost.

 

So the guy drove the truck away with a blown engine?.....

It all makes perfect sense now........

 

He drove it away? I’m not sure but I think somebody got bent over. Friday; it never fails.

 

Oil gushing all over the engine. Oil the radiator reservoir and out the tail pipe. Engine check light on. I was stunned.

What kind of perfect sense is it?

 

What if it was something extremely simple and you cost yourself $6000??

 

No chance. Anyone who saw the terrible oil mess would run away. Buyer said he's a Toyota mechanic.

 

Lmao yikes

 

Which makes even more sense lmaooo

 

What kind of sense?
