It's hard because the oil adheres to the dipstick tube.

What I do is to check my oil only in the early AM after the car has been sitting overnight. Before I've started it. The oil level is easy to read, and it's always perfect.

Thanks for the tip. Makes sense as the thin oil should have time to drain down off the sides of the tube and off the dipstick.
