Doesn't state anything about the GX so fingers crossed it has the 'fix' from factory

Well if that is case, I'm guessing they changed there procedures fairly quickly after figuring out the issue.

Problem is the 102,000 that it may effect I'm not sure there will be a solution outside of warranty on the engine main bearing failure for like 200,000 miles or 20 years or something.

There is zero way of telling that I'm aware with out tearing down the motor. I'm guessing the machining debris clogs an oil line leading to the main bearing failure.

Toyota should step up and just warranty the engine for 15 years or something ridiculously long

Keeping fingers crossed on GX550 too. If I go forward with purchase I will probably send Blackstone Labs samples from oil changes just to see what's going on. They keep a database of various models for comparison. For $35 it can't hurt.
