Jellybean Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Is there any trick to checking the oil level on the Supra; the dipstick is crap; everytime I look at it , it at the correct level but when I was at SSI it need about 0.5 of a litre. Any knack to checking the oil level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan294 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Daft question, you are doing it from cold on level ground? Mine is always pretty spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I check it on level ground, and for an accurate reading only do it when it hasn't been turned over for several hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iky Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Ive noticed the dipsticks on my facelift TT and my brothers pre-facelift N/A are a different design. Mine is a flat blade and his is a round wire type thing. The wire is a crap design as it scrapes oil from the tube making it give incorrect readings. My 200sx also has a similar wire type stick and I have heard of on the owners club engines being seized due to no oil even though the dipstick says it's full. Only way to be sure is to drop it all and put correct amount in. Or change the dipstick to a flat blade one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Page LU-1 Chrikey, that's badly written. It says that the oil "should be between the low and full levels marks" but then if it is low "add oil up to the full level mark". So if the oil level is between the low and full level marks, is it low or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
