There's something wrong with my Yota.

My truck has sat on jack stands for about a month in the garage. I finally got the tire fixed and when I pulled out of the garage there wasn't a single drop of oil on the floor. I checked all of my fluids and they're all full. Is this normal for an 89 22re with 273k? I feel like my undercarriage isn't getting the protection it needs. Any help would be appreciated.

Happy Friday guys.

I predict that your lack of oil leaks will soon cause your truck to rust in half.

I have an '87 with 277,000 on it, that is still absolutely oil tight except for a small seep from the power steering input shaft seal.

I must be mistaking the burned on sludge for fresh oil on the dipstick.

You can always find a mud hole the Jeeps frequent, that would be a good way to make sure the frame stays oiled!

I agree with everyone above.

Except I don't like Abby Road. Let It Be was better.

Check back in a few years and see if it has leaked .

I mean not leaking is normal .

If you are worried spray the undercarriage with drain oil then all the dirt can help hold in moisture.

I have the biggest oil stain of 100 people at work. Well maybe the dodge diesel near me is kinda bad. Keeps my underside lubed. ok I moved the truck for this photo.
