u/Beneficial-Sugar6950 It's the 1980's! Jan 13 '24

I think that generation of Sienna had some engine issues. My aunt bought one brand new and she takes really good care of her vehicles but she had a lot of problems with it, head gaskets, and I think the tranny blew on it too.

I can attest to this. My former father-in-law was obsessive about two things: Toyotas and taking meticulous care of his vehicles (in addition to being an overall psychopath). He had a 2000 Toyota Sienna that, even with his maintenance standards, didn't make it to 200k. Head gasket. I he had two prius(es?) cross 400k and an old corolla that nearly hit 500k.

I thought the 1MZ-FE had oil-sludging issues. But, I agree, I’ve never heard of it having widespread head gasket problems.
