Changed motor oil with 5.5 quarts Mobil 1 full synthetic 10W-30, 0.5 quarts Marvel Mystery oil, and Mobil 1 M1-102 oil filter. Cleaned engine bay with brake cleaner and engine degreaser then hosed down with water (battery disconnected and removed). Noticed lots of gunk between alternator and engine block. Washed exterior with wash/wax liquid. Applied Rain-X glass treatment to all windows and mirrors. New Bosch windshield wipers were installed.

Installed new upstream O2 sensor gasket (Toyota part # 89466-20020). One of the bolts holding the sensor to the flange twisted off, but it appears that just having one side tightened down is enough. Disconnected battery and pressed brake pedal three times to reset computer, removed EFI fuses to reset fuel trim levels. Check engine light went away after it started and driving and noise are back to normal.

After a highway trip there was a rattling noise coming from the underside. I could not point out specifically where the noise was coming from. The noise would get louder based on engine speed, but also when traveling over speed bumps with the engine idling. This indicated that the problem was most likely not internal to the engine, but instead something coming loose externally. After another long highway trip, the noise had changed instead to just a much louder exhaust. When I looked for the location of the issue this time, I saw that the upstream O2 sensor had come completely loose from the flange on the side of the exhaust pipe. The nuts that normally tighten the sensor to a gasket and bolts must have rusted and completely fallen off. The check engine light also came on and the exhaust is sometimes backfiring when engine braking.
