hat,

from http://consumeraffairs.com/news02/toyota_sludge.html:

"But last week, Toyota sent letters to 3.3 million owners of vehicles equipped with the two engines affected by the problem -- the 1MZ V-6 and the 5SFE inline 4 -- saying it will pay for repair costs in cases where owners can prove they made "reasonable efforts" to maintain the vehicle."

do a google search for more info. you'll find a ton of articles on the subject. i typed "toyota + sludge" and got a good number of listings.
