The owners are getting notices in the mail warning them of potential "oil gelling" problems. Of course caused by owners not replacing their oil on a timely basis....not to blame the ownners per say, Toyota will repair "oil gelled" (sludged-up) engines even though it's not their fault either.

Toyota also promises to eliminate the problem in new engines by increasing the oil passage diameter....even though it's not an engine design fault?.!??!
