Proof I was at service

and thanks to the guys that helped me out in this you guys are truly a mans man thank you again

 

hey I aint gonna proof read no more you don't like my grammar don't read my writing

 

...and a real sense of humor to boot....!

 

well, it wasn't working now it is...yet this thread continues. On top of that I keep coming back here, to this thread, with a dipstick.

 

Lets try this:
Yes, the dealership said it is operating as should. When I was a kid I worked at an oil and tire shop for a while and probably changed oil in every car produced back then, so this was certainly not my first time. My uncle owned a tow&gas station and I also spent lots of time there, so don´t give me the line, I was pulling at an angle because it would never come out like that, now you are being just plain ignorant, you saw the video. You know what, forget about it, if you haven´t figured it out by now, you will never get it. It was stuck for whatever reason. Did Toyota tell me the truth, ¨no¨, do I want to know the truth, YES. I am going back Monday to get this situation squared away. I spent a lot of money and I want answers, and I will get my answers. I was too worked up that day because of you guys driving me nuts, so I will calm down and we will figure this out.

 

@daddy_o o thanks for translating,but the job wont pay much see as I really didn't think I needed one......... what the hell your hired

 

Toyota told me it works as designed but would not tell me how it got unstuck that claim they just opened up the hood a it came right out the engine which is a total lie you can see its stuck in the video when I showed the tech he kind gave me a look like a cant tell you ya

 

in the video I say it don't twist because its not a threaded dipstick for one and 2 I knew that because it was out just a little past there magic o ring

 

My best uneducated guess:

It was cold out (going by the snow and his brother wearing gloves), and the moisture condensation (like what accumulates on the oil cap) froze the dipstick.

At the dealer, the dipstick thawed, and was removable.

Only a guess!

 

no it wasn't cold it had snowed 2 days prior and it was kind of warm for ny in february

 

it just unreal how they just didn't want to tell me really why it was stuck other wise they would of produce the 1 of the 3 techs they said that worked on my car that actually freed it the dipstick

 

I really don't know if its fixed I know I can now remove the dip stick. I don't know why it was stuck like it was

 

I have to go past it this week I'm gonna stop in and talk to the head of their garage see what he really sez if that don't work I will have my wife translate my words onto paper and to Toyota and I know they don't want that

 

Good to see you survived your TW initiation!
Welcome aboard!

 

lmao......

 

In. Just because I missed the first one.

 

....probably should get some help with writing that letter...

 

In all seriousness, it was minor issue, a stuck dipstick. Now it's working as intended. Sometimes there is no "explanation" for why you could not remove it. I actually think its possible the the little o-ring was dry in combination with colder weather etc. This kind of issue should not and does not warrant a letter to corporate or whomever the local dealer answers to.

 

I agree. His first post sounded like the way this guy looks....
