The dipstick is plastic in all 1NZ engines. I replaced mine with one from a 1ZZ engine because it's metal. I just had to re-mark the full line higher. I hated the plastic one.

Thanks! I thought for a moment that previous owner put an aftermarket one in.
This is my first plastic one and it's very easy to read.

The dip stick on my 2012 with the 1NZ is metal.

Getting a good read of the oil level is not easy.
