tealboy Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I rec'd a card from Toyota related to my 2002 RX300 discussing options/coverage related to the well discussed subject of sludge. However, I am interesting in finding info from folks who have either been covered by the extended warranty/settlement or have dealt with your own dealership on this subject. I don't know whether i have a problem or not, though the car does burn a lot of oil, about one quart in 2500 miles (seems like a lot to me). I have not pulled the valve covers. Any input on your experience with the dealerships and how they are treating this situation would be apprec. I did a quick search and found little info, but if there is a thread already covering this, perhaps you can direct me. thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tealboy Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 wow, i thought i would have rec'd a lot of great advice since this topic has been well known and discussed w/ regard to this series/engine. Didn't everyone get the class action suit notice in the mail offering the extended warranty and sludge protection? Mine showed up a few months ago, but i never called the dealer to learn more about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX in NC Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Yep, I received the letter/card. And yep, I filed it with our 2000 RX300 AWD records and gave it to the guy who bought the vehicle from us about a month ago after explaining what it was to him. I also told him to just keep up the oil and filter changes and he probably would be able to avoid the oil gelling issue.... I had our dealership inspect the condition of this engine at no charge in the January 2005 timeframe at around 100,000 miles. No gelling issues were found, as expected....
