I am just about to hit 2400 miles on the factory oil. Told myself I would check its level in my normal spot, slightly downhill, then flip the car 180° around to see if it changed the level indication. It did not. Still full. I think oil temp is the big thing here. If its not all the way up to...
I went to the dealer on Friday to get a couple oil filters and decided to look around while I was there. 1 Supra in the showroom, no incentives. No discount on the window sticker either but no mark up. They had a decent amount of cars for sale though. Toyota of San Bernardino if anyone is...

I noticed something odd over the weekend. While I was sitting at my auto-x event between rounds, I said hey, lets check the oil level. Car had been sitting for a hour but I let it run for another 10 min before measuring. Sure enough, level came back at half. Did the test 2 more times, same. Ok...
