It's reported this is under goodwill repair by TOYOTA who discovered this in their 1998 Avalon
Occasional problems on this vehicle are failures of the Engine, Charcoal Canister Evaporative (EVAP) Solenoids and the Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor. Problems with the Engine are caused when the engine oil gels. Engine oil gelling can also cause excessive engine oil usage. When proper maintenance schedules for oil changes are followed, oil gelling should not occur. Toyota has issued an 8 year unlimited mileage goodwill repair for this condition. Problems with the Charcoal Canister Evaporative Solenoids, or the MAF Sensor can cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. The cost to repair the Engine is estimated at $4,500 for parts and $1,384 for labor. The cost to replace the Charcoal Canister Evaporative Solenoids is estimated at $268.51 for parts and $65 for labor. The cost to replace the MAF Sensor is estimated at $148.90 for parts and $58.50 for labor. All prices are estimates based on $65 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax
