I see, it works just like the gas cap on an ultra high precision GM product.quote:

That is interesting. I always thought the oil level was specified as high as possible without getting into foaming due to crankshaft thrashing? It is OK to add a quart?quote:

Now that we have that settled, has anyone read the Toyota TSB on switching for 5w-30 to 5w-20 in certain approved models? The switch includes a dip stick with markings that make the oil level one quart higher?
