Sorry, but I feel compelled as a completely satisfied Toyota owner to call you out whenever you bring out the same tired old canard. The poster before you was a one-hit wonder. Sludge occurred on some Toyotas, model year 2002 or earlier. I had one -- it didn't sludge.
 
From my reading of the situation, only a small percentage sludged; yes, there was an apparent design defect, but it seemed it was exacerbated by those who waited too long to change their oil (typically short-trip drivers). 2010 cars are hitting the streets now; It's time to move on.
 
On Edmunds at least, the sludge forum, reopened after the class-action court settlement was announced, was closed a few months later because it had devolved to name calling, ending with one last taunt by a fervant GM supporter (not you). I favored the closure -- nothing of substance was being said any longer. The hosts agreed -- I certainly had no clout to close it myself.
 
My Camrys are running just fine, not sitting on blocks in the back yard with sludge. I assume your Buicks are too?

I completely agree with 210delray. I've never know anyone with a so-called sludge-prone year Camry to have any problems. Next topic please.

lmidazoL97, you need to get more current and more up-to date information on the latest model and year of DEFECTIVE TOYOTA AUTOMOBILES. You had mentioned that only Toyota Automobile below 2000 were developing sludge. You are wrong. Go to consumersaffairs.com and you will see Toyota Automobiles CONTINUES TO BLOW THEIR ENGINES this includes Toyota Camry 2006 that have millage between 34000 miles and 40000 miles.
 
Who Pays $12000.00 To Fine Out If A Brand New Toyota Camry 2006 Will Develope Sludge?
 
A guy who Loved Toyota Camry did not want to belived that a brand new Toyota Camry 2006 will develope Sludge.
This guy SAID that he purchased a brand new Toyota Camry 2006. He SAID that he new that Toyota Automobile were developing sludge. He SAID that he is going to use Mobile One Oil in his brand new Toyota Camry 2006. Mobile One has an oil that guaranties 15000 miles. If this Mobile One Oil causes any parts to fail in your car Mobile One Oil will replace the part or parts free.
This guy started to use Mobile One Oil in his brand new Toyota Camry 2006. When his brand new Toyota Camry 2006 had a millage between 34000 miles to 40000 miles his brand new Toyota Camry BLEW ITS ENGINE. He SAID that he had changed the oil in his brand new Toyota Camry 2006 as the manufacture recommends. He returned his brand new Toyota Camry 2006 to the Toyota Dealer where he had purchased it. The Toyota Dealer said that the reason that the engine in his brand new Toyota Camry BLEW, because it is his fault. Toyota SAID that the engine in his Toyota Camry 2006 which has between 34000 miles and 40000 miles will COST HIM $12000.00 to have this engine replace.
THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE WAY TO LEARN ABOUT TOYOTA DEFECTIVE AUTOMOBILE WHICH ALSO INCLUDES LEXUS.

Thank you for updating the info for me. I learn something every day.
 
But you need to direct that to mcdogg and delray210 who said there is no engine sludge that was not the fault of the owner and that it ended with a certain date, along with negative comments about advocate Charlene Blake, along with his two samples of well-cared for cars which have not developed a known sludge problem yet.

#5252 of 5336 2007 V6 Camry Up-Date by djm2

Aug 22, 2009 (6:48 am)

Good Morning All:
        Kindly be advised that I now have 51,000 miles on my V6 XLE Camry. ---- According to Toyota recommendations, I should be changing the engine oil and filter every 5,000 miles. ---- Since this vehicle was new, I have changed the oil and filter at the selling dealer every 2,500 miles. My dealer recommends the B/G - MOA additive to be used in the oil. I have used this additive at every oil and filter change. NOTE: The oil on the dip stick is as clean at 51,000 miles as it was on the day of delivery!
 
       To date, I have replaced the rear brakes and the exterior engine oil line (under the extended warranty).----- Last week I repaced the original tires, and had a four wheel alignment performed on the vehicle at the selling dealer. The vehicle will be three years oil in January.
 
       I have had none of the transmission issues that have been posted on this site. ------ I DO NOT BELIEVE IN EXTENDED OIL AND FILTER CHANGES! ---- Oil is cheap! ----- Engines are expensive! ----- (If the engine in my Camry was to destroy itself, I have all my service records in one place, (at the dealer), and I have had twice as many oil and filter changes as recommended by the manufacturer! ---- I would love to see Toyota deny my warranty claim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
      I am starting to look for a replacement vehicle. This Camry will be traded when it reaches 95,000 miles. (I have a Toyota 6 year / 100,000 mile extended warranty on this vehicle.) ----- I like the XLE Camry and the selling dealer, so as such, this vehicle is on my "short list"! ----- I would also look at a Chevrolet Impala, Honda Accord or a Ford product (if I can find a dealer in my area that I like??????????????) I do not like "high pressure / highway / wise guy" operations! I DO NOT work well with those stores! The Honda Accord is a great vehicle, but the seats are not as comfortable as the Camry. (Prior to purchasing the Camry, I owned a 2003 Honda Accord 4 cylinder automatic that killed my back!) --- Recently I sat in a 2009 Accord and the seats have improved, but they are still not as comfortable as the Camry. I will look at the 2010 Accord.
 
      Best regards to all!
                                                       Dwayne

Success and a good dealer are always a good place to start when looking for a new car, so the Camry looks like a suitable replacement for your use. You might also want to look at the models of the new laCrosse by Buick for 2010. It has gotten good reviews from many often critical of GM offerings, including Edmunds. Be sure in any car to drive exactly the model you're interested in; suspension and seats seem to vary model to model. I found what you did about Accord seats in the past. Civic seats that I sat in were better than Accord's and Camry's were much better at fitting my shape and needs.

A lot of people have complained about the seats in the 09 Camry hurting their backs where their old Camry didn't, so investigate wisely.

I don't even know why you're even responding to this "helpman" character. He can't even spell correctly, and his sad sack story is allegedly based on what one man "SAID" (his capitalization). $12,000 to replace an engine on a mere Toyota? On what planet? He's just a spammer, and I'm notifying the hosts.
 
I stand by what I said about Blake also -- I think she's claimed every car she has ever owned to be a lemon, and she's owned different makes. Talk about a gadfly!
