2011 Sienna Engine Oil Dip Stick Indicator

HI,
Not sure if anyone have similar experience, I noticed when you check the oil dip stick, it's hard to tell whether or not the oil is full. When I check, it always indicates less than full.

The question is, if the capacity is really 6.4 qts/6Litres of oil or just the dip stick indicator is wrong? I guess when I pull the dip stick, some of the oil dissapear.

Try checking it first thing in the morning when the engine is cold. I seem to get a better reading on the dipstick when I do it then.

Ok, let me try that, I tried it when the engine is still warm, not hot.

Also, check the other side of the dipstick. Sometimes, with the way dipstick tubes are setup, one side of the stick will read lower than the other side.
