Wonder why Toyota went that route rather than the bolt in cover that uses a gasket like the older 70 series.
You could just add some rivnuts and make it removable for future clutch jobs.

Dipsticks and variations:
@SNLC you are totally right. The dipstick tube 11452-17011 that I got is too long (45cm). The FT tube is shorter by about 10cm (35cm in overall length).
There are also two dipstick variations, short and long. The 15301-17030 is identical to the dipstick out of the FT. It is 51cm from cap to tip. It sits about 7cm deep into the oil pan sump.
The longer variation is the 15301-17010 that is in my 1HDT and 1HZ. The 17010 is about 6cm longer than the 17030 - 57cm total length. When using the FTE tube and the longer 17010 dipstick, the dipstick only sits 2-3cm into the oil pan.
Guess I’m cleaning up the FT tube, unless there is another longer dipstick that sits at the same relative depth in the oil pan. I am at the barn without a laptop, and it’s hard to do part number research on my phone.View attachment 2255666View attachment 2255667View attachment 2255668View attachment 2255669View attachment 2255670
Oh no. It's real. I poked the hole at Round Up when I checked the oil for the drive home.Cim, please tell me that’s an April Fool’s joke.
