1. Drain your oil and change filter.

3. start and run engine.
4. check dip stick however you like, your reading will be different on each side of stick.
5. now you know where full is on your dip stick.
As long as you do this in a consistent manor you should not ever be far off on the oil measurement.
Do this then there should be no debate. On the dipstick there should be a solid oil mark not like the picture a few threads above.
