I started doing the dip stick layed flat on a blue shop towel trick to get a reading.

Clean dip stick, insert dip stick, pull out again, lay it perpendicular to the towel (layed down on flat surface like your hood) and then turn the dip stick so its resting on the towel.
You will get an imprint on the towel. Clean the dip stick off and use the imprint to measure agains the clean dip stick's hash marks. Forget who posted this trick but give that guy credit.

Those of you without a dip stick and relying on the dash gauge (that is reliable as a Congressional Budget), good luck.
