What is the LL mark on my engine oil dipstick for a 2010 Tribeca? It seem about half way between the holes in the dip stick as shown in picture

F, not LL DD
FULL and LOW - two marks.
p.s. read owners manual )))

That looks nasty! So what does the LL mean Flat6er? Your comment came out weird.

He thinks that it is "LL"(one is bigger and one is smaller, huh? written on dipstick, but I think that he tries to read letter "F" wrong way
oil level is right in the middle. so - if the measurement was done on even surface and after engine was off for (in my opinion) about an hour - everything is peachy.

Owner's manual only has the two holes (lo & full) but does not show, nor mention the LL. So far no one else replied they have a Tribeca dip like this one? Humm

Although I perfectly understood Flat6er, but to answer to thompsonrc request, her are pictures

Hopefully it is visible, there is a L and a F.

Thanks and that is exactly what I expected to see but the marks on my dip are not that way but both L's next to each other in between the holes. I was hoping someone else had the same dip markings.

I think, like @Flat6er , your marking is a F as well.
See your picture turned below

Excellent, so why is no manual showing this? Maybe this is not an original Subaru dipstick?
So I reviewed my manual (page 11-7) and my actual dipstick and you are correct and what throws everyone is the manual drawing is not to scale and shows much smaller L and F compared to the width of the dipstick. Question Answered. Thank you Rabbelaar.
PS if anyone wants a photo of the manual picture (in case they do not have one) let me know.

Got it.
