saturation Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I have learned that my car was at some point under a recall for oil gel problems which turn on the check engine light. This light has been on for quite some time--EVEN though I replace oil every 3-5K miles. The recall has expired. Does anyone have any experience with taking their car in after this recall and having any luck with Lexus taking care of it? Also, how much does something like this cost to fix?

lenore Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 You have not given us the codes for your light. It could be something completely unrelated. The symptons of oil gel was generally heavy useage of oil between changes.....Go to your local auto parts store and get the codes read..

yeskay Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 may be unrelated. you should contact Lexus and confirm your statement with the vin id. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 It most certainly is unrelated. Many reasons a CEL may come on...most of them minor. Engine oil gelling caused total engine failure...if that were occuring...you'd know. It was never a recall, just a special extended warranty.
