Does anyone know the latest revision of this TSB?
My local dealership said they won't perform the bulletin because it has already been done on my car. I'm almost at 69000 miles, so I need to figure out soon if I do in fact have the latest parts and am indeed out of luck, or they're just trying to not lose out on some money.
I've heard revision 5 twice - which is L-SB-0156-08 dated Oct. 30, 2008.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Remember, every mile counts and don't want to reach 70k in the middle in your way to dealer.

I think you got that right. When the oil is low my car do the same thing . I changed the oil lately and noise is gone even this morning was really cold. I dont really think that outside temperature has to anything to do with this. Like somebody said above is oil pressure dropping off when cold start.
Anyway What oil do you use from Toyota? Just regular 5W30 or synthetic?
I am not going to touch my engine right now.. Screw it, I am going to change the oil every 3k miles even if this is synthetic. We'll see...
I have leaking windows, both front bearing hubs are very noisy and I will need replace them which is $250 a piece
, now cranking noise, WTF I am asking?!??? Did I buy Lexus or freakin Ford?? Time to go back to bimmer hell yeah!!!

These motors don't like low oil level so check how is yours.
Castrol never let me down in any car.

I've been using castrol for the last 30K miles. Before that I was using royal purpple. My oil level is normal.
Its just annoying that's all. My Ac compressor failed at 55K and it cost me a whooping 2300 for it and now this crap again.
Make sure you pay close attention to yours with the extended warranty they give after the recall. I need to check it to see how long is that extended warranty.

Once they can hear the noise it should still be covered under the power train warranty!

whoever's having that problem of that clicking noise in your engine it's cuz you're crank shaft is loose.. any lexus dealership will fix it for free if your car is still under the warranty & if it not its about $4500 to fix but I think th warranty is good up to 100K I hope this helps yall out

The noise just came back after a 4.5 year hiatus.

I have just over 60K miles on it now but my 6 year powertrain warranty ran out 5/10/12. Just my luck. I guess I'm just going to have to live with the sound now as I can't afford the (apparently temporary) fix...
