Thanks for posting up a picture and asking the question that a lot of people are wondering with this poor dipstick design. A picture is worth a thousand words. Cheers

How much is it between the L and the H?

I guess nissan changed the dip stick for the rev up motors. Mine doesn't look like that picture.

I'm wondering how in hell did you get the dip stick out with a clean reading!

I noticed that your oil is pretty dark for 1500 miles! My current mileage is ~13,000 and I've got 1000 miles on my current oil. Mine is not even close to being that dark, in fact it looks like I just changed it. It was so clean that I had to draw an arrow to show the oil line.
I've driven the past 1000 miles like I stoled it! With speeds > 100mph for over 50+ miles on a recent trip up north, and plenty of sprinted driving in town so it's not like I've babied it.
