Default Oil Dip Stick Hard to Read and Buzzing Noise from Dash

Couple of quick issues - wondering if others have this.

The oil dipstick in the RSX S is really hard to get an accurate reading on. The combination of a loooong stick, no hash marks where you take the oil reading, and clean oil leaves me scratching my head. Anyone else notice this or am I just getting old.

Also, there is a vibration type noise coming from the dash area - by my left knee. It happens at various engine speeds. Anyone else have this issue?

Also, the frigging arm rest on the drivers side door is the most uncomforatble plastic I've ever touched. My left elbow aches within a minute of resting it there. Very annoying.

yeah these new dipsticks are hard to read, almost have to put them under direct light to get some sort of reading, it is easier to read as the oil darkens though.

The armrest bugs the **** out of me too.. but I'm getting fiber glass doors pretty soon and I've talked to the shop and they said that they're designed different so we'll see if these new doors are any better (comfort wise)..

The buzzing is the two plastic pieces around the steering wheel hub coming apart. I'm going to have mine fixed under warranty soon. If you turn the wheel you will see what I am talking about.
