Another Dipstick Question - Toyota Yaris Forums

Zohzo · 04-03-2017, 10:25 PM

As everyone is already aware, it's hard as balls to read the dipstick on the Yaris, (I have a manual 2009 RS). There's no solid line of oil and dry everywhere else.

I did the oil change not too long ago, and afterward I wasn't sure whether to count the 'solid' oil mark, or the smeared non-solid mark. The smeared non-solid oil mark went beyond the high mark by a good 2 inches or more.

I noticed some 2nd gear slipping and decided to take some oil out.

Here's the latest on the dipstick: http://imgur.com/a/MBfj3

So my question is, what mark do I go by?
