#50 of 52 Re: engine sludge problem [aub789] by jason1999 Jun 19, 2008 (7:17 pm)
Replying to: aub789 (Mar 02, 2008 7:31 pm) Aub789...Sorry I didn't see your question earlier...I know its months later and you have likley already figured things out......but if the car has 60-70K on it and you dont have any history on the car, then there certainly is potential that the oil gelling problem could arise at any time...or never at all. From what I understand, if somewhat regular oil changes and maintenance is performed, the huge majority of toyota vehicles never experience the oil gelling. If lexus had already fixed the problem, if that particular vehicle had one, then Lexus could pull that information up by the VIN number. I don't have the invoice in front of me, but from what I remember many engines parts were removed, including the oil pan, and thoroughly cleaned inside to out. They kept the car for 3 days or so...and gave me a rental.

Replying to: shello (Jun 07, 2007 11:04 am) You NEVER had an indication on the instrument panel that the oil was low yet you put 4 quarts of oil in the engine...   NOT GOOD.   Oil contamination and fouling of the plugs could be a direct result of over filling the engine with oil. Not only that, subsequent failure of the oil rings could have also resulted from over filling.   In other words.   "you screwed the pooch...!!!"
