Confused w/ Oil Dip Stick
I don't know exactly where my oil level is from pulling my dip stick.. I know it's a dumb question but can someone please explain if I'm reading this correctly? Thank you😂
So I just attached a picture of it from a few minutes ago while parked at the gas station. I'm assuming I'm just below the low mark.. right?

Wipe it and dip again to get a clear reading. But also I've never really thought you can get a solid reading with a warm engine because the oil is then doing it's job around the engine, not in the sump.

Owner's manual has this and other info. If you don't have it, it is available online: https://owners.honda.com/vehicles/in...-Sedan/manuals

From the looks of that picture, looks like it's 3-4 liters over full. 
As the instructions say you have to pull it, wipe it, stick it, pull it then read it.

I pulled it, wiped it, stuck it and pulled before taking the picture. But I also was just running the engine 10 min prior.
