RX300LS Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The oil light came on last night on my 2000 RX300. Took it to a Toyota dealer this morning. (They had just performed the 90,000 mile service) They called and said the oil was about three quarts low. They said there were no oil leaks under the car. They pulled the valve covers and found gel build-up. They called the Lexus dealer and told them what they found. Lexus said for me to bring the car to them so they could inspect it. Took it over to the dealer, but it was too late for them to look at it today. Talked to the service manager, he said it should not be a problem getting a new engine cover under the campaign. The eight year warranty runs out on 8/19/08. It has had the oil changed about every 3,000 miles, sometimes at Lexus and sometimes at Toyota. Will keep you posted.

PK_3 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 RX, Welcome to the club. It sounds like you have a good dealer. If you don't already know, there was a class action lawsuit http://www.oilgelsettlement.com/ (Lexus took it on the chin). I still waiting to see what my dealer will do with my 99 w/84k. Started 1.5 years ago at 70k. Good luck, PK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
