Check out that sheer amount of German plastic under the hood...
Now how would Cusco be able to sell you a tower bar for this car let alone a dipstick? |

Be sure to turn on the English subtitles (autotranslated). I think they may be going after the Miata market with this because it "has under the hood a six cylinder in wine engine".

Will the supra even have a dipstick?
BMW and Merc seem to be deleting that option. Inquiring minds need to know.

Nevermind I found the dipstick it's now digital just like the shifter.

I can tell you right now, HIGHLY unlikely that there's a physical dipstick. BMW started eliminating them over 10 years ago.
My Porsche doesn't have one either, but it actually makes sense in this application given where the engine is located. Still, if I forget to check the oil level before starting the engine, I have to wait 10-15 minutes for a reading.

Well look at the bright side this means no German plastic bits and pieces from the dipstick assembly would ever crack and fall into the plastic oil pan (been there done that).
