There is a TSB on it.

dogfriend,

Thanks for sharing that TSB! It is clear why the dealers are going to screw up every oil change. Toyota is telling them to overfill the oil so that it will always be overfull after a change. WTH is Toyota thinking? This isn't rocket science. Unless they intend for the "full" market to actually be the ADD OIL mark, this is an idiotic TSB.
