Oil Change Question... - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hi Guys,

So, on all of my cars I've always filled my oil to the level that is mentioned in the manual. Usually this gets the level on the dip stick to about 50-75% of the normal level on the dip stick. I'm not concerned, but I've had some oil change places complain that I didn't supply enough oil to fill the car, and my damn mechanic decided to top up my expensive 0w30 German Castrol oil with some cheap shit and charge me for it, since the dip stick wasn't at the FULL mark. I do check my dip stick and the oil level doesn't change.

Whats everyones take on this?

Thanks
