[Mark3 2018 T7CL] oil dipstick - min/max

I am a bit confused.

Every other vehicle (and even a generator) I owned -  has had a min/max marks, but this one is just blank (yep, on both sides!, lol).

Any ideas what's the correct level range?

 

Cheers

    There should be a crosshatch area on there.  Are you sure it's not on the other side?  The level should be half way up that lower section though.

    I wonder if the hatching on these is 'printed' on somehow, and has been dissolved by acidic oil over time.

    I'd say the oil needs to be about half way up.  So minimum 1/3 and maximum 2/3.
