| My 2001 toyota echo oil light came on so i checked the oil and it was full. i drove to the place where my oil was changed last and my engine light came on. the light stayed on until i turned off my engine and would reappear from time to time. when my car started making a loud clanking noise, i got concerned and was ready to take it to the dealer when it completely lost power and i had it towed to the dealer. there they tell me that because i did not maintain my vehicle properly, engine oil sludge occurred. i proved to them my vehicle was very well maintained for over 5 years so why the sludge. they informed me that because i bought my car used, the previous owner did not maintain the car properly. it was a leased car that i bought used in 2003. the dealer is telling me it will cost about $3000 to fix this problem. *tr | |||
