I have a question regarding the bulletin by Toyota on why more oil was needed. Why isnt the Matrix mentioned when that is the sister car to the Vibe?

Thanks Charles for all the info. I ordered a new dipstick and will get it on Monday. I think they thought I was crazy for ordering it for my Vibe though

Thank you soooo much for this info! I will order a new dipstick today. Is it also a good idea to use the oil they recommend? I was going to use Valvoline Synthetic blend like I use with my Tracker which is 125000 and I drive it 420 miles a week on my mail route. Do you think it would be a good idea ...

Just got the car so don't know about having to add oil. No check engine light, thank goodness. I'll keep a close eye on the oil.

I am a new Vibe owner of a 2003 AWD automatic with 97000 miles and when researching reviews on it I found many complaints about engine problems and excessive burning of oil. So, I went and checked my tailpipe and ran my finger in it and it came out pitch black. My 2001 Chevy tracker with 120000 mile...
