I read this on MSN and thought I should pass it on. I hope the Dealerships honor it.

"Occasional problems on this vehicle are failures of the Engine, the Air Fuel Ratio Sensors and the Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor. Failure of the Engine is caused because the engine oil gels. Engine oil gelling will also cause excessive engine oil usage. When proper maintenance schedules for oil changes are followed, oil gelling should not occur. Lexus has issued an 8 year unlimited mileage goodwill repair for this condition. Failure of Air Fuel Ratio Sensors or MAF Sensor will cause a drivability problem or the check engine light to illuminate. The cost to repair the Engine is estimated at $4500.00 for parts and $1514.50 for labor. The cost to repair the Air Fuel Ratio Sensors is estimated at $377.31 each for parts and $65.00 for labor. The cost to repair the MAF Sensor is estimated at $151.88 for parts and $32.50 for labor. All prices are estimates based on $65 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax."

All original owners of Lexus RX300s rcvd letters from T/L giving details of the 8 year, unlimited mileage oil gelling warranty. This warranty, however, stays with the car so any subsequent owner also has coverage.

If you aren't the original owner of your RX, then whoever sold it to you should have informed you........................

Does this only happen to the 1999-2000 models? Or does it effect all the models from 99-03? The link only shows the 2000 model.

I'm the original owner of a '99 -- I did not receive any such notification from Lexus.
