    Just a oil change with Mobil 0W20. I put in 6.2 quarts with filter change. But I'm having a hard time getting a reading since it's so clear.

    How much did it take you guys?

    I had to use a paper towel. Kinda hard to even do that since it's so long flimsy.

    Looks like it's near the top of the full mark/dot. I do get occasional streaking.

    Drive it then check it. You gotta stir the pot.

    Do like me.... Drain it ... put 6.2 in it.... Wait till next drain and fill....no need to check the oil unless you see drips man....

    IF you must check it.... pull the dipshit of a stick.... wait 5 min..... then check once.... That's what you got....!!

    Toyota designed this motor so that the oil wicks up the dipshit stick and will not drain back on it's own.. Must be pulled for a while to allow oil to drain outta the tube..!!

    Still....no need to check IF you filled it properly..!!

    I check mine every other fill up or so. Because I’m scared.
