Trouble measuring oil level?

[Anchorman]

I’ve noticed there are a few people struggling to get an accurate measurement on the dipstick. Mazda used ultra smooth stainless steel and the oil won’t stick to it. Get some fine wire wool and take the shine off the bottom three inches or so and it should be fine.

Good suggestion.

Or just check the oil level the first thing in the morning before the engine start; just one pull on the dipstick, no wiping required.
