Online Mechanic » Toyota V-6 Slugg Buildup

I had a writer ask about the problem with oil slugg building up in Toyota’s V-6s.  My son is a Toyota Master Mechanic and he said that the problem is from lack of service and not a problem with the engine.  He said that if you service a Toyota V-6 as recommended you will not have any problems.

    Toyota’s oil congealing was due to a problem with the PCV system’s design. If the PCV system was plugged up, crankcase vapors were not purged. Not changing the oil at the recommended interval accelerated the problem.
