Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / October 2006Sludge Report...
My local Toyota Service Writer told me he had a gal in a Sienna come in with the check engine light lit. He went to the computer and found no oil changes. He asked her if she had her oil changed elsewhere. She replied....'No'. The Sienna has 30,000 miles on it...with no oil changes. Terrible Toyota quality. Damn the things won't run 30,000 miles without an oil change. Where is Charlene????? >My local Toyota Service Writer told me he had a gal in a Sienna come >in with the check engine light lit.

However, are there reports of sludge problems with Toyota cars/trucks even when regular oil change/scheduled service was performed as per the manual? Wasn't there a problem with sludge accumulation despite having done all that and that's why Toyota has extended their warranty on certain engine components to cover the sludge problem?

No, Toyota just caved in. Just like they caved in to Jesse Jackson. They don't like bad publicity. > Hope that none of the repairs are covered by Toyota.

Toyota extended the warranty on the V6 engines for certain years. I have a Camry and Sienna with these V6 engines. I got letter from Toyota for both, but I don't expect any problems. I change the oil/filter myself every 4,000 miles with Mobil 1. Using the same approach I have a 20+ year old turbocharged(not water cooled back then) still going strong today. Tires on the turbo and on my V6 Camry with a manual transmission don't seem to last too long, but they are fun to drive:-) Objects in the rear view mirror tend to get very small, very quickly at the lights. > No, Toyota just caved in.

It seems to me, Jackson would be in court for extortion by now. > Hope that none of the repairs are covered by Toyota. She needs to be > taught a lesson. Agreed, when these are covered, technically, you will pay indirectly. > However, are there reports of sludge problems with Toyota cars/trucks > even when regular oil change/scheduled service was performed as per > the manual?

Well, I havent seen them yet. > Hope that none of the repairs are covered by Toyota. She needs to be > taught a lesson.

Nobody had documented sludge and appropriate oil service intervals. -- ~Philip "Multiculturalism and coercive tolerance of bizarre lifestyles describes a social experiment, not a civilization." --Paul Gottfried >>My local Toyota Service Writer told me he had a gal in a Sienna come >>in with the check engine light lit.

As far as I've seen...No one that has serviced their car with the recommended oil changes has had sludge. That is what my dealer techs tell me. So far we have asked all the sludge reporters to produce their oil change receipt. NOT ONE SLUDGE REPORTER has done that. My 72 Olds 98 went 35,000 no oil change, no problems. Except the oil was pretty dirty when it got changed. > My local Toyota Service Writer told me he had a gal in a Sienna come > in with the check engine light lit.

Some women (Wickeddoll excepted of course) think that automobile maintenance begins and ends with putting gas in the tank. Water ? That's for showering in. Oil, that's for cooking in a wok. Air? duh, for breathing. I don't need transmission fluid, because I don't have "fluid drive" in my car. The spare tire? You mean the one around my husband's middle? Filters? Heck, I don't even smoke! Reminds me of Phyllis Diller's line about the cop pulling her over. "You're going down a one-way street!" "Well, officer, I was only going one way!" |
