Amazing link..!
Well I spent HOURS on my oil pan and I DID IT..!
First I hammered a buckknife tip under the bolt. Pried a bit, then snuck a surplus butter knife under there, too, took out buckknife. Pried some more with butter knife, snuck screwdriver under there. Withdrew butter knife, pried A WHOLE LOT with the screwdriver.
Hammered on that suckah a whole bunch. Like for an hour.
FINALLY a miracle happened and the whole stud unscrewed and came out, freeing my pan.
I cleaned out the boogers from the oil pan, replaced oil 5w-30 synthetic and put a thing of Lucas oil treatment in there, also.
SO RELIEVED..!!!
And I passed on your link to a bunch of Toyota people who will probably really love you for it.
What was that SOAK SOLUTION he put those 1MZ-FE heads in..?
SPARKLING..! Wow.
NAPA carb cleaner. It comes in a 5gal bucket for @ $100. He used two buckets and poured them into a barrel. I just used one and soaked one side of the head, pan, etc., at a time. The problem you have was caused by the engine flush. It loosened too much, too soon. A gradual cleaning with marvel mystery oil would have been better.

I suspect you’ll have the light again as the sludge works its way through. That’s why I recommend cheap 5w-30. I also recommend Marvel Mystery Oil because it is a cleaner. I ran into another problem on mine after a few thousand miles. The oil pump bypass seized up. Instead of changing the pump, I just took it apart and cleaned it. Not hard to do and it can be done by just dropping the oil pan.
