Thank you very much, Steve for clearing my concern about over filling engine oil. Really appreciated for the information, I will keep in mind your advice. Cheers 

Hi Steve, 

I actually put almost 6 litres. I did replace the filter and did everything to make sure to get a good reading with the dip stick such as parking on level ground, warm engine or cool engine. But it still show a lot over the line. For the last couple of months the car is running very smooth and better fuel consumption, compared to the first i change oil which I only used 4.7 liters. 
I did some research on club here and only see recommendations to use 4.7 litres for 2.4l engine not the 3.5l engine. The Toyota club net website say it should be 6.1 litres with filter. I think the dip stick is not accurate. For bigger engine it should need more oil than the 2.4l. 

 

Hi everyone,

Can I check how much oil should I put in for 3.5l v6 2012 model? I put 5l in but my dip stick show that is too much. Thanks in advance.
