On the bottom of the dipstick, there will be two holes or lines. Look to see where the dry section and the oily section meet. If the mark is in between the two holes or lines, then there is plenty of oil in your Lexus.
Remember, it’s important to regularly check your oil level and maintain the proper oil level for the optimal performance and longevity of your vehicle. If you find that the oil level is low, you may need to add more oil or schedule an oil change.
