Clean oil - yellow dipstick. Can't read level
So I did some searching on getting a different dip stick and tried to find something at the local auto parts stores to no avail.
When I searched all I saw was people wanting a different one because they thought it might break.
I just want to be able to read the oil level after an oil change.
The after market ones I have found are for domwstics and have seals that go around the tube and ours seals inside, so they don't fit.
Anyone found one that works.

The oem dipstick works just fine. The trick is getting the dipstick real clean of any oil, insert to read oil level and look to see where the shine from the new oil stops in the proper area. Works like a charm for me...

Oil change with filter is only 4 qrts anyway.

re oil dipstick
i had a hard time as well checking my oil on my dipstick, so i googled 05 scion xb oil dipstick and found this company TOYOTA SCION PARTS STORE OF CLERMONT. They had it for 12.00 plus shipping, altogether i paid 25. It shipped quickly and it was a perfect fit and it is made of metal so easy to read better than the plastic original.
