ECS dip stick question

I bought an ECS dipstick and while it is really nice, when I lay it next to my stock dipstick the lengths seem a bit different.
The ECS seems shorter.
I've always had a bitch of a time reading the stock dipstick and the new one is super easy to read.

I think the oil reads high on the stock dipstick, but reads low on the ECS.

Am I crazy? Have you guys had any experience with this?

I'm changing my oil for the first time next week and from what I've read the S54 takes 5.5 to 6 liters. But I also understand that it never entirely drains all the oil out.

Is it really this difficult, are the Germans insane, or is it me?
