...vast vast majority of us. This isn’t like swapping out an air filter.
If a few years down the road us 2020 and 2021 owners start having oilpumps dropping like flies I’m sure there will be legal actions initiated and I’ll start paying attention at that point. Until that happens I’m not...
That's a decent assumption, though I'm not 100% sure. While that has been the case in my experience, I searched again and found 2 TAS cases where the pump was bad and threw oil pressure codes, but there was no mention of the oil level measurement in the repair notes. That may have been because...
...all the oil out and do a measurement for whatever reason) so I brought the car back for a follow up consumption test and they were unable to measure the oil again. SO, it looks like they're going to replace the oilpump, pistons, and piston rings to resolve the issues they are seeing under...
Ah, thank you so much for the detailed explanation. :headbang:
Ok, so kinda fair to say that if, as long as my weekly "measure engine oil level" still completes the process up to 100%, I'm still safe?
This is not a recall or TSB on the Toyota side. There is a tech tip on the BMW side that I posted in another thread, but its from Canada (seems to be mostly a cold weather issue?)
And no, not just if it fails - if you have issues measuring your oil level (only reads to 18%) the plastic adjusting...
...replaced by the dealership -- all were customer pay. One of my personal favorite technician notes was, "Customer believes the issue is the oilpump based on Supra forum posts" ? phenomenal!!
I think I may make a separate thread on this eventually to stop hijacking other people's posts, get...
The plastic pump mainly affects 2020 cars with some 2021s. So go 2022 if this is a concern, like on a used car lot. Or buy the extended warranty for a 2020/2021 model or ask a private seller of a 2020/21 if the oilpump was ever replaced.
Yeah it’s going to show the updated part number because that’s the only one you can order now. Being a 2020 you most definitely have the outdated oilpump
There have been people in the forums who had the oilpump warrantied even with a tune. Wouldn't hurt to check. The dealership did diagnostics on my car and it produced the oil pressure issue intermittently. Best of luck.
That is funny because normally BMW parts would be far more expensive than Toyota parts! I guess Toyota needs to buy the part from BMW and then slap it in a Toyota box, give it a new part number and then apply a nice mark-up. Toyota is literally the middle man here. ?♂️
