So....
When checking my oil in level ground 5-30 minutes after shutting the truck off I get an oil level anywhere from 1qt to half a qt low. However after 1-2 hours, the level reads full.
I’m using TGMO 0w-20 on my 2011 LX570 with 173k miles and with an Toyota filter. Does anyone know why it takes so long for the oil to settle?
My only thinking is an bad anti drain back valve but the cartridge oem filters dont have one. Plus I get not rattle on startup and the engine is smooth and quiet.
