do you think I did any damage there was just A little oil showing up on the dipstick I was at the gas station filling up that's when I checked it and my stomach dropped after seeing it. Do you think the oil didn't have A chance to settle back into the oil pan and thats why it showed up "dry'' btw the temp gauge never went up it's never been A problem every I time I check it, it seems fine until today I find this, it's a 92 toyota pickup with manual trans about 115,000 miles on it I just hope I didn't damage anything. what are your thoughts on this thanks, jeremy

I don't have A garage I park it on the street which are not level but I will go check it right now hopefully like you said there was still enough oil in the pan to still be okay

Don't sweat it really. Check it on a level surface, wipe the dipstick and then put it back in to get the correct reading.

I've seen so many Hondas and Toyotas that were straight up abused by their owner that kept going. No matter what they did to them. At least you care about it! LOL

Check every few days at first to track how much oil (if any) that you are loosing.

Good luck.

and you didn't fill it up with oil immediately you were obviously low at least a quart or something

A friend of mine drove his 280z for 3 years without an oil change and at least 2-3 quarts low. it always run great.
