And do all the potential issues related to the large amounts of sealant deposits necessarily mean that the cars are not still coping minor damage to various things, or suffering from minor aeration and so forth? I know oil starvation itself takes very very little time to do major damage, but its possible that minor starvation events are occurring still right? Just the shear lack of inspection by Toyota is alarming, and honestly is setting off alarm bells about this issue - its a very new car that they in theory you would want to investigate deeply so as head off potential recalls early on and have fixes for. It makes you wonder if they absolutely know about it, and absolutely don't want to officially have to inspect it. |

Related to the original post in this thread which showed a dipstick with crud on it...my brain just made the connection that my dipstick had stubborn bits stuck to it around ~2,500 miles. They were not present on my dipstick early on (I have photos because my car was delivered lower on oil), but I stupidly didn't think more of it and vigorously rubbed it off without documenting it. However, I did a crappy job of cleaning (or there's new build-up) because I pulled my dipstick today and see there's still (gray) stuff on it near the edge around the low oil marker. Sorry the phone photo doesn't look great. Someone else I know with a new GR86 shared with me that his dipstick has similar crud on it and he's still in his break-in period of <1,000 miles. Not sure what to make of it yet, but the dipstick should not have this foreign material on it. |

Read the warranty. Modifications beyond stock and the use of non approved parts is a guaranteed warranty denial no matter who installed them.

If they opt to keep things the same then it is not refreshed and yes the risk is lower. Failure can happen anyplace in the lifecylce. The valve spring recall from the 2013s had nothing to do with first run issue (there were 400,000 other cars involved) and neither does this sealant issue really. Remember they have been making near identical 2.4s for over four years now. If it had been an injector issue it could be attributed to new processes but it is exactly the same bottom end in the Ascent engines.

This is some scary, but informative, info. I'll keep an eye on the updates, but not going to let this scare me from enjoying my car. It's from an early batch (delivered 1/22) and currently sits just over 3000 miles. Oil changed at 1000 miles with OEM oil/filter. Only mod to the drivetrain is a cat-back. Car has zero issues. Repeatedly checking the dipstick - clean as a whistle. 5-year/60k mile warranty will have my back should anything happen. Happy to provide data for those attempting to correlate. Until then, party on dudes.

this is one of the reasons why I always do used oil analysis on every play car I own, because I want data to back up my claims in case I need to get warranty coverage.
