ok, update us nalang. so that we can give you some advice too.
pero at 12,000km, it shouldn't be the timing belt nor the valves. they have an OBD scanner and you can ask them to give you the error codes so that you have an idea of what is wrong with your car.
BTW, what do you mean by "mild stroke"?

August 22nd, 2011 04:09 PM #62just to document...
My car arrived last Friday and everything seems back to normal.
I still dont have the technical report from the "Plant" but I have the service or job order
replaced was:
1. OIL PUMP ASSEMBLY (the whole set)
2. SEAL PACKING
To access the oil pump assembly, they had to open the valve cover according to them.
I was charged with the motor oil 2K++
I think everything is fair... I still feel better off than a flooded car if thats any consolation... I do have experience with other brands... like fixing something they dont know how to fix... I dont like guesswork... at least with my personal experience, they took responsibility of warranty, no questions asked...
I still think Toyota is in my top 3 choices (though not anymore 1)
BTW - Oil Pump Malfunction is their reason for the warning light... they can not explain why it malfunctioned

August 22nd, 2011 09:28 PM #64good for you they fixed the car relatively free... i wonder how sure were they that the engine did not have internal damage on the cylinders due to oil starvation due to malfunctioning oil pump...
afaik the oil symbol in dash means the pressure of oil is not enough to properly lubricate and protect the engine from excessive friction. low oil level, too thick oil and oil restriction such as sludge would cause the oil symbol to turn on.

August 22nd, 2011 11:15 PM #65For the camry... The warning is literally spelled out in the info display... I guess there was a sensor specific for the oil pressure... It actually avoids the sludge issue... And before anything major happens to car...
Personally... When the warning message was out... Car is very normal... Oil level... Overheat... All in normal levels.... I just hope there are no long term effects...
