RX350 died on the freeway
As others have mentioned do a compression check. The plugs are soaked with oil which could have caused carbon to build-up. You could have burnt the valve(s) which would also cause low compression. If you do have low or no compression, then a leak down test is next to determine where the compression is going.
Did a compression check on the front 3 cylinders, 0 on all 3.
Checked spark on 1 cylinder, I have spark.
I dont have any history on it unfortunately. Wife has had regular oil changes, but no major repairs or maintenance.

Zero compression is very bad news. Combined with you description of what happened back in post # 6, I suspect that the engine seized (or something) and now it has severe internal damage... a blown engine in common terms. You can further investigate if you want, but you need to replace the engine. A used engine would be less expensive than having yours repaired.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Damn that sucks man! Sorry to hear that. Yep as stated above, most likely new engine time. Are you going to figure out what failed?
