Inconsistent measurement levels in oil dip stick
Hello, this evening I 've replaced the oil & oil filter. But while checking the oil dip stick, I couldn't be sure how much oil I filled because one side (the metered side) of the stick showed below minimum level while the other side showed it in full. I've repeated this measurement by wiping the stick clean several times but in all of them the result was similar. Below are 2 sample measurement results. I haven't turned on the engine because of this uncertainty. The oil is Lukoil 15W-40 100% Mineral.
Has anyone experienced such an issue? What to do to be certain of oil level inside? Thanks.

I 've bought a 5 liter box and so I have no idea how much I put in it There's some weight of oil left in the box some 1 or 1,5 lt. So I must have put roughly 3 to 3,5 liters.
I'll fill some more oil to be on the safe side and run it just to heat up and check again.
