Default Oil dipstick reading on twinscroll

Hi peeps ...

Dose anyone else find it difficult reading the oil dipstick on the twinscroll Impreza, I have had verious classics (single scroll) never had issues before..

Done a recent oil change on the spec c and just find it impossible to gauge a correct reading, one side of the dipstick gives one reading and the other Side gives a diffrent reading all together...

Just getting a little fustrated and wondering if I'm just been a div or everyone has the same issue ??

Cheers all...

Same here,if you leave dipstick out for a few mins,then when you put it back in push slowly until about 1-2inch left to go,then push the final bit in fast and then straight back out,seems to get a better reading that way. Was a tip from a member on here.
Even doing like this I get a slightly higher measurement on one side,so I go with the low measurement.

I tend to find my readings are : on one side lower just below the full line in like a v shape ( that's the one I go with) the other side just seems to show oil all the way up the stick... Such a pita to get a good reading...
