Oil Quantity?

Just a question, does the Tacoma (2020 TRD sport) detect the amount of oil in the engine/crankcase?
I ask because in the Toyota app, under the vehicle Health it shows "Quantity of Engine Oil is at the required level, " instead of "Quality"

 

How exactly would the truck report the quality of the oil to you? You think the engine has a little blackstone lab inside for real time diagnostics on oil quality?

 

By miles driven and time since oil change. Same thing vehicles have been doing for decades. i.e. 22% oil life remaining. Is it scientific? Absolutely not. Is it handy to plan your weekends when you forget to put a new sticker in the windshield? Yes.

 

I can assure you it does not have a level indicator as I leaked all my oil out on the way home from my first oil change due to a faulty/not installed o-ring on the filter housing and I had no indication until I lost oil pressure.

 

you seem to not comprehend the question.

That's something I've never seen. Seems odd to have such an indicator for quality, and not have one for the appropriate oil level.

 

Oh, I got it.

 

A lot of GM vehicles have level sensors.

 

Seems I remember reading your post on that topic. Thats what lead me to ask this...

 

Looks like the 2024 taco has a level sensor, maybe their webpage doesnt report correctly for older models
