Yet another reason not to use synthetic oil! Conventional oil is number one for dipstick reading!

Yeah, I think I went a bit overkill for a daily driver, but a higher quality filter and higher quality oil can't hurt.

Glad to hear it's not just me having a hard time reading the dipstick after a fresh oil change with the Yaris.

I'll upload the picture of how I got the factory filter off at some point, should make some good laughing material...
