Yeah I do it on level ground since I don't need to jack it up to get to the drain plug.

I always just assumed the dipstick was the original. I looked up some pictures online and it looks the same. I could measure the length of mine to compare.

I should have added that I always pour the old oil into an empty jug so I can see how much came out. Even with spilling some during the transfer I don't get 5 quarts.

I had my engine apart last year to do the head gaskets and it was pretty clean and I didn't see any contact surfaces that looked like they weren't getting enough. Overall I'm not that worried about it.

This seems to be a good price and the appropriate purchase, unless someone can convince me that the "High Mileage" variant is worth it?
It cost less at Walmart.

I concur that 5.5 quarts is the correct amount for the V6, this includes the filter, 5.2 quarts without the filter.

i put 6 quarts in, but i use m1-209 filter. its a bigger filter.

i only use the extended performance oil, i also do 10k oil changes, i use that type of oil due to my driving habits, sometime i just want to punch it and let it breath.

No need to overthink this. Any oil that meets manufacturers’ specs is fine. Differences in long-term wear or performance are so negligible that they’re insignificant. We feel better when Mobil 1 is under the hood but the engine doesn’t care.

10-packs of Toyota OEM filters come out to $4.80 each shipped on Amazon.

It’s really that easy.
