Hmmmm, a B20 dip stick and tube would work, or any stick long enough to reach, then drain and fill with correct amount of oil, [for engine] and mark or note on stick where full point is. 94

Just use an OEM dipstick, that seems logical.
As far as measuring the oil, I measure it after the motor has been running and has warmed up, but I wait about 20 minutes to allow all the oil to drain down from the head and everywhere.
