My brother in law just texted me saying that their 2013 GL350 died on an on ramp and the engine is toast. Meticulously kept with oil chances every 3k miles.
It gave no warnings and after it died the oil light came on. My sister tried to start it and it turned over a few times but then stopped. Mechanic "opened the top of the engine and tried to turn it over" and says it is locked up. It was not low on oil at all. I cant imagine that this engine would just randomly lock up and be a paperweight.

Codes are seen below. Can these not be the cause, but more of a symptom of the engine stopping?

I told him to take it to another mechanic to get a second opinion and to have the oil pan checked for metal parts, maybe something else could be making it seem locked up? How is it possible to have an engine lock up with oil in it? I am in Texas and he is in Nashville, so i cant go there, and he will be lurking and can respond to any questions you might have. I am hoping to either have specific things to check for the mechanic and/or have it towed to a different shop. Any suggestions in Nashville?

Thanks for your help.
