If it's the one that came with your motor, then it's the one you're supposed to have *probably*

B-Series dip from a different location than D-Series. Your b-series should dip from between the 2nd and 3rd runners of your exhaust manifold. The D-Seires dips from way down the block, and is located next to the timing belt cover.

The metal portion of the B-series dipstick should be 10" from the end to where it meets the rubber "stopper".

A B16A takes 4.2 quarts with an oil and filter change. 4 quarts in the sump should register well above the first dot on your dip stick, if you have the proper one.
