"get a longer dip stick"
I sometimes get asked the length of specific engine dip sticks. Either they have lost or
broken their one or they are sold a replacement and don't believe it's the correct one.
This is how we are measuring the dip sticks. With a tape measure!
The zero is butted right up against the collar of the dip stick.
The oil maximum and oil minimum are then measured off in millimeters (because fuck inches).
