I've never noticed the dash! I may be out of it, though.
The oil should be at the topmost hole, I'd assume that the dash (if it really exists)would be the level for after an oil change, slight overfill in other words.

We have noticed that H22, H23, F-series, seem to have different length dipsticks. Something to keep in mind, because they are interchangeable and look alike otherwise...
