I've seen what heads look like when prolonged oil changes happen, they get coated with brown film.
Wish I could give you a prompt answer, but it's 11 degrees outside and snowing, and my 986 is under a car cover. As soon as weather permits, I'll post a photo of its dipstick. As I recall, though, it didn't look like the one you posted.
