I might have bought a lemon 😢

The true upgrade will be when Gen 5 comes out with the newest Dynamic force engines that are used on the camry hybrid, avalon hybrid, rav 4 hybrid, lexus es, lexus ux etc. The prius and corolla hybrids are still using the old engine.
the dynamic force engine is a whole new world. (cue the music)

Just wanted to update..
I took it into the Lexus dealer for both a checkup and the airbag recall. They gave me a new ES350 as a loaner, which is a pretty nice ride btw.. I went in to pick it up, was told that the car checked out great! I had absolutely overreacted to seeing a bit of sludge on the dipstick.. They pulled the pipe related to the egr, said that it looked pretty clean. Didn't suggest doing a full clean out, and said that running some seafoam for a couple tanks of gas should be all it needs. They also mentioned that by having it inspected, IF I end up having an issue with the EGR, even after the extended warranty period, that Lexus would likely cover it. I fully expected to pay for the inspection, and they did it free of charge.
