You might be dragging one side as you remove the dipstick.

There is nothing wrong with your car. The new honda dip sticks suck. Whoever invented the new plastic dip stick is a moron. I can't even read the thing half the time. Synthetic Oils that are more on the clear side are a pain in the as to read. An aftermarket company should market replacement dip sticks that you can actually read.
