Alright, I would like to know how many of us had to use more than the 6.1-6.2 quarts to reach the top of the full level on the dipstick? Because I am at about 6.3(6 quarts, 9 ounces) and just at the bottom of the dipstick. I had to walk away. Going to wait 15 minutes and go check it again.

I did. 6.3 made it to the full line.

Walked away. Ate lunch came back 30 minutes later and it measured full. Guess you just have to wait a bit for the oil to drain back in for a accurate measurement

Thanks for getting back to me.

Are you a Tundra guy too? As soon as I am done servicing the Pioneer, I am bringing my Tundra in for a wash. I saw this morning they are finally working on a new engine to get better gas mileage. Going the Ford route, V6 with turbos.

I was like you just a couple weeks ago... I was careful to measure it all out. Followed the procedure half a dozen times and was like WTF?? Talked to several guys and everyone said theirs held more too!

I’m running 20w-50. Seems to have smoothed the shift a little, still noisy as hell.

WARNING!!!!
PLEASE USE APPROPRIATE TOOLS TO TORQUE TO SPECS THOSE OIL FILTER COVER BOLTS.
My neighbor got new p1000 and said he wanted to do it like pro mechanic and had only this 1/2 torque wrench that starts with 10 ftlb , he thought by twisting the dial lower he can lower torque effort . He bended/twisted 2 out of 3 bolts and decapitated the third bolt. He blamed our forum guy on the video :) who said that specs are 9 ftlb instead.

But I told him that he used light house grown big cucumber to f... small rabbit instead of using baby carrot :((((. Sorry. I was mad at him not even asking if doubt.
I said get left handed easy out bits , he got them. I told wait for me, im back from work in 4 hours, instead he found leather punch not metal punch, did not punch properly and started to drill the broken bolt and went towards engine housing , the hole looks like triangle now, bolt still there . I'm pissed now. And told him to take it to dealer , bc the engine 20200606 16171520200606 16235620200606 162400 needs to come off, its not possible to do anything since space is limited and direction changed .

Please send a pics of your tools to your friends who have more experience with such type of work versus trying to continue to screw up more and have costly repairs . Don't fffff rabbit with cucumbers :))).
