Changed the oil with filter change. Added the recommended 6.4qts. I find it hard to read the dipstick. Each side of the dipstick shows a different level. Just wondering if others experienced this?

They do this frequently, depending on the model. Alot of the ~06 Tundra / Sequoia's do it too.

6.4 / 6.5 qts should put you right on the money. 6.0 qts on the low end, 6.8 on the high end. Varies with how long you let it drain, and how hot the oil is. Go by the lower mark, its far more consistant with specs.
