Learning to Read Corolla 2012 Dipstick (again)
The first time i tried to ask, i didn't get any useful answer. This time, i tried something different. I did the following:
a) Drove for 10 minutes at 60km/hr. I didn't notice anything unusual.
b) Park on levelled ground
c) Waited overnight
d) Took out the dipstick and cleaned it
e) Wait 30 minutes. I want the oil in the dipstick tube to drain back into engine
f) Put the dipstick into the dip stick tube with dimples facing upwards
g) wait 2 seconds
h) take dipstick out but try to be as parallel to the ground as possible
Then i took pictures of the dipstick. There is a line 1 cm above the highest dimple. So this means I overfilled right? This is extremely dangerous and harmful to the car right?
