Which section on the dipstick should bear an oil mark in order to indicate that the oil level is incorrect?

Explanation

Correct answer: Over the "MAX" level.

The dipstick has markings which indicate the correct range for the oil level – most often these are dots, notches or the words "MIN" and "MAX". The correct oil level must be within this range. A level that is too low (below "MIN") or too high (above "MAX") is incorrect and can lead to engine damage.
