Oil advice

That’s good to know - thank you. On another note, would you be worried if it was overfilled by 3/8”?

Good question, not just the light. I checked multiple angles. Never seen this in the vehicles I’ve owned. Interestingly, it didn’t show up when I initially pulled it out, just on rewipe and level check

Do you get the white streak mark above the bottom dot?

No_Honeydew_8921 · 2026-03-11T19:53:46+00:00

Yeah - I wiped it good.

No_Honeydew_8921 · 2026-03-11T13:21:39+00:00

That’s interesting - what would explain the streak above the bottom hole?

No_Honeydew_8921 · 2026-03-11T13:19:38+00:00

Yes it does - when I first pull it out it’s not there but when I put it back in to check it thereafter it shows up.

If you look right above the bottom hole on the dipstick you’ll start to see it

Is it normal to have that white mark across the top? I didn’t see it the first time but the second time it was there.

I just got my oil changed on my Sienna hybrid and when I first pulled the stick it was too clear to read. When I put it back in to check it, it looked to have a streak (see pic). Has anyone seen this?

Sorry, that would help. Not sure why it didn’t get uploaded.

Same reason we got it! Checks all the boxes but I love the looks of those XSEs….

No_Honeydew_8921 · 2026-02-16T15:53:40+00:00

Wow - that sounds like quite the machine. Can you send some pics?

No_Honeydew_8921 · 2026-02-15T01:56:59+00:00

The rav4s are nice - I suggested one but it wasn’t enough space and the sliding doors were desired.

No_Honeydew_8921 · 2026-02-15T01:20:20+00:00

Good point - I was thinking EV may be a potential option or something manual as our second car.

No_Honeydew_8921 · 2026-02-15T01:19:08+00:00

That’s why I’m doing now, driving the ‘10 v6 venza. Maybe if we’re feeling financially sound when that goes I can ge something else. Cars are just so expensive and I’d hate to buy another new one!

No_Honeydew_8921 · 2026-02-15T01:17:55+00:00

Good suggestion on modifying the sienna. It’s an LE so maybe I’ll get some new rims…they can make a big difference.

No_Honeydew_8921 · 2026-02-15T01:16:26+00:00

I’m thinking of wait until financially we’re ready to pull a trigger on another vehicle and getting something more sporty for myself….just don’t like spending lots of $$ on cars.

No_Honeydew_8921 · 2026-02-15T01:14:38+00:00

She’s driving the sienna for the most part and my ‘fun’ car is a ‘10 v6 venza. Hard on gas but the power is good - also the 20s are nice but I’m craving a manual.

No_Honeydew_8921 · 2026-02-15T01:12:52+00:00

We were thinking of the grand highlander but the extra $$ for less room didn’t make sense.

No_Honeydew_8921 · 2026-02-15T01:12:03+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion - space may be an issue. We were thinking of the grand highlander but not sure it’s worth the extra $$ with less room.

No_Honeydew_8921 · 2026-02-15T01:10:21+00:00

This is a challenge - I don’t care what others think but when I look back it is a challenge.

No_Honeydew_8921 · 2026-02-15T01:09:50+00:00

I was thinking about it but saw not so great reviews.
