Did you send your receipt into Toyota? I had my 2009 Highland experience this same issue and was lucky to make it home after the oil light came on. Toyota called me back today and said my vehicle was "placed into use" 12/8/2008 therefore my warranty is expired. I am a 2nd owner and knew nothing about this warranty extension. All they could say is "sorry". Oil is ALL OVER THE PLACE! so towing to shop to get fixed.

I've owned a 2011 Sienna for 9 and half years and driven around 84K.I drove it last Friday afternoon and it was smooth at the beginning and then I smelt a burning smell. after minutes, no oil pressure alert light was on, I pulled off my car to a nearby parking lot and checked my engine and found it leaked all the oil with nothing left. I made appointment today's morning for check and was told my car got a broken Oil Cooler Pipe that was covered under ZE2 and I needed to pay nothing. I recommend all the others having the same issues pulling their cars to a local dealer for quick and worry-free service!

This is because your Sienna fell under the secondary portion: The Secondary Coverage is applicable for 10 years from the (DOFU) Date Of First Use or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first. I'm happy for you!

I had the same thing happen to me with my 2008 Highlander in 4/19 w/ 125,000. Dropped all the oil on the freeway and blew my motor w/o indication of oil being low. Was with my handicapped friend and am considering a lawsuit against Toyota if they will not make me whole. This is dangerous as I lost brakes and power-steering. VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE TOYOTA. Do the right thing before someone dies from your flawed design. Anyone interested in joining forces please email me at derekspearson@gmail.com

Call me a sucker but I purchase a 2017 sienna and have a 2007 - the 2007 (85k) just spewed 60 bucks work of oil from faulty oil cooling lines all over the street- which I know Toyota wouldn't cover, the sliding doors don't work because of their faulty cable designs (BTW dont think they fixed the sliding door issue with 2017 cuz its attaching up) - I've driven durrangos and explores into the dirt without as many issues that I have with the Toyota brand.. guess its time to wake up and buy American...

I'll add to the Saga. It happened to my 2011 Sienna SE just 56 days after the 10 yr warranty for this issue expired. The pandemic helped Toyota. Since I drove a lot less so I ran into the problem on 9/27/20. So it was after the 10 yr warranty expired.

I am amazed at what shops are charging to replace these oil cooler line (not to replace the engine). I have seen the parts kit go for about $60 and it is about an hour job, 2 the most. There is another problem like this, it is called the vvt-i oil line that has a rubber section that is known to leak oil as well. Research into that and replace it with all the metal line before it is too late.

The oil cooler tube just blew on my 2010 Highlander. 162,000 miles, 122 months. $485 to fix at the dealer. Luckily, it happened close to home and most of the oil wound up on the driveway and no damage to the engine. Seems like a plastic tube should be a lifetime part. But at least the dealer took 10% off when I complained!

Same issue with the oil cooling line on my 2011 Highlander with 94K miles on it, Fixed at Lou Fusz Toyota in St Louis for 939.00plus my 125.00 tow. Called Toyota Assistance line and talked to Lou Fusz, no help from Toyota. A real shame since this is a known issue with them, they never did a recall, just an Enhanced Service Campaign which means they sent a letter to the Dealers to fix any issues customers have at no charge, after you lost all of your oil a ruined your vehicle
