had some ECS store credit so i just picked up the polished billet dipstick, didn't even know that existed. given my oil consumption and non-stop checking of the oil level, this seems like a worthy buy. thanks guys! lol

Yup, totally agree. I just like to measure everything in metric cause it's way easier to remember and convert.
You know it's funny that when I was learning how to be a machinist, they teach everything in imperial. The accuracy was to the thousandth. They gave you this chart to memorize. I still never memorized it, only for the test lol You would measure with a tape measure that only goes down to 1/16th. Then you would have to convert everything back to a decimal in order to use the machine. It's like they purposely give you an extra step so you can mess up your measurements lol
this may be an obvious question, but are the Canadian and European dipsticks measuring quarts or liters....?
Is it 1.1 liters between the full and add lines?

answered my own question... RTFM
The oil volume between the two marks on the dipstick corresponds to approx. 1.1 US quarts/1 liter.
I guess all my life we'd just call that "down a quart"
