Post a photo of your oil on dipstick (with miles)

2003 Honda Civic EX
Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w-30 with 3300 miles. Did not get a good pic this time. It's hard to tell where the oil is on the dipstick. Spoiler: It's about 2mm below the full mark.

Why do the diamond hash marks end before the full mark hole?

Do you consider oil color as an indicator of degradation/oxidation?

My Porsche doesn’t have a dipstick- so I can’t play.

I feel a dipstick with say 4 or 5 holes in a line would useful.

That's a Ford dipstick. The top of the hash marks is the full level when the oil is cold, and the top hole is the full level when the oil is hot. This is not talked about in the OM, but that's how it works. I've verified this on my Coyote V8 Mustang, and it should work the same in all Fords with a dipstick like that.

Does it actually show if it is like 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 quart low on that?

It doesn't note specifically, but it has at least 8-10 increments. Bottom to top is probably 1.5L for my car. I also bought a physical dipstick and have compared it do the digital output which is very consistent.
