My dipstick is the same as yours.Why my dipstick has only one notch ! I opened already a thread time ago but no much replies .
These are the photo of my 156HP dipstick OEM 7585971
Just looking at the number of threads of the spring/stick, looks like the single notch is lower than the top notch of the dipstick with two notches.

Somebody has the same dipstick with only one notch? Or somebody has time for take some measurement?
Have the same dip-stick. The easiest way to look for the level is to raise it up against the sky. You'll easily see how much of the stick is lubricated.Same stick as mine…..and as said before they not the easiest to read for measurement,mine was roughly halfway so just topped up roughly half litre
Some engines are known to burn a little oil mine has used half a litre to 1000 miles I can live with that….probably worth keeping a litre bottle in the boot
Ok…..How much litres of oil is between the 2 markers on the stick?If your level is only half way up then its plausible there is around 2.5-3 ltrs in the sump the max is 4.25 therefore keep an eye on the stick as running on low oil is a no no with these engines
Cheers fellaI would hazard a guess & its around 3ltrs + but the level should only be checked with the engine completely cold as you could easily overfill & that is a no go with a HPT engine
