Engine oil gelling. My 2001 Avalon XLS has 42,000 miles and is in the shop for extensive repairs due to oil gelling. I changed the oil regularly and there is no reason for this to happen absent a defect in the design. I have been a loyal Toyota customer and this is my 4th Toyota car. Dependability is the no. 1 priority for me. To add insult to injury, because I must depend on my vehicle while it was in the shop I decided to trade it in for a 2004 Lexus. Imagine my disgust when the dealer discounted the value of the trade-in because of oil gelling. A lot of people are having this problem.
