Bright sun light and Clean oil do make reading the dip stick hard. I use a paper towel to carefully lay and roll dip stick end to help read it.
You have to wonder why Porsche choose a brownish color for the dip stick end to check brownish fluid.
On second though who am I to question Porsche engineering.

Or you can let the oil get really dirty and black. Then it's real easy to read

Only expect level to be accurate is engine has sat for 30+ mins and is level
Personally I would not use the gauge to guild my topping off, only the dip stick
