[w8tng4nepiphany [OP]]

i know this shouldn't matter but i have a question, so today i brought my car to toyota, and gave them the oil to change the car the tech instead of just 6.4 quarts he put 7 full quarts, should i get it changed asap, and stay away from this toyota dealer or is that half a quart wont make a difference.

please help, since its sat night i wont be able to do anything till next weekend.

thanks

also i checked the oil now after driving home and it been sitting all day, its fine its right at the line maybe a hair or 2 above, but when he checked it right after it was a good amount over

6.4 quarts? Seriously?
Better double check your numbers.

2010+ FJ`s capacity with filter is 6.4 qts.

7 full quarts, it should be way over the line, the sumps aren`t that large.
usually you put in 6 quarts when doing an oil service bc there is residual oil still left in the engine, they rush through the service so fast they don`t remove all the dirty oil!

start the truck, run for a few minutes. Shut it down, let it sit for a few minutes and check it 2x, add as needed...

I know what comes out of mine bc it will drain for more than an hour, I pull the drain plug and let her drain while doing something else. this is after a good warm up...

Wow, didn't know. Usually, .5 qt over wont hurt anything.

That's what ever one is saying .5 won't hurt I'll change it in 3k also when I checked it tonight it seemed perfect

then that`s all that matters

I fill my truck with 7 quarts, just so that I wouldn't have any leftovers.

The level on the dipstick still seems okay (thinking about it, I think I emptied the last quart just to get it up to level on the dipstick).

Someone else does the same, here:

I`m not a big fan of overfilling, so the oil doesn`t sling around the crank and create foam and air bubbles. I do not know if the FJ 4.0 V6 has a windage tray of some sort or even a crank scraper...

is it safe to overfill, maybe, maybe the manufacturer put in the "stupid" factor for things like this...

the O rings and plastic drain tool, which I attach a short length of hose to, is included with the OEM Toyota filters, no cobbling needed.
