Just a heads up as i got a letter today, apparently the 1997-1999 celica has a problem with oil gel and toyota will pay for any repairs (old or new) relating to it. you can check out www.oilgelsettlement.com for more info about it. sorry if this is a repost i didn't see anything when i did a search.

Yeah I got one too.
I do have the blue smoke upon start-up but the funny thing is that I never got it checked because, from all the posts I read on this site, it sounded like it was normal and no big deal. So supposedly I can get it fixed for free BUT it says in the letter that you had to make "reasonable maintenance efforts". So the question is, what is "reasonable maintenance efforts"? Do I lose out because I didn't take my car to the dealer to get the oil changed? Or follow their maintenance schedule? We'll see, as I plan on checking into this. Good luck to all those that got this letter. |
