Toyota is in Petaluma, Acura is in Santa Rosa. Don't know if it's just an insurance thing. Like driving it for transport is different than driving it for diagnostics. Not sure how all their insurance rules work. I'm going to record it post it here since I've learned far more than the dealer has explained, and then take it back and show them as well to see if that makes more basis for the claim to Scion.

It's so subtle that I can barely see it.

Do love her in white. I do want to swap the badges back to Scion though. To match the rest of the car.

Haha, don't you dare!

Ah, yeah, could be a liability thing. Not sure if you'd want to okay that idea if it's even possible. That's around 20 miles each way if it were to happen, right?

Between those two dealers, it's about a 10-minute drive. It could be done, I'm guessing if someone was to hit them while they were driving it over there, their insurance wouldn't pony up any cash to fix/replace the car since it wasn't driven in a certain area/purpose. That's just my best guess. I know companies are forced to follow a lot of rules and regulations, and I can understand that. I might ask if it's possible to get all the paperwork/notes/inspections etc over to Hansel Toyota and drive it over myself.

Well, hopefully everything gets sorted out for you one way or another.

Is this really wide body? Looks like stock to me.

When you checked the Oil when it was over filled, what side of the stick were you reading it from? You should be reading it from the lower side. (It does look like it was over filled though).

Could you clarify the lower side?

Good eye, it's stock

Whichever side of the dipstick is showing the lower amount, that is the side that should be used to determine the level.
