oil level indicator check

the oil level indicator stick, for my honda jazz 2003,

im trying to find out if i need to top up my oil by measurement of the metal stick, there are no clear marking to says minimum or maximum, unlike my previous car !

there are however twist in the rod/ stick, and two small holes about 2cm apart.

any advice if i should just top the oil up or what the recommended level is,

i dont have the owners manual so im pretty stuck,

its due for a filter and oil change, but i wanna do this myself !

The 2 holes in the dipstick are the Min and Max lines, so make sure you're in between the 2 lines, The L15 takes about 4 Qts, so if you're not running a 1.5 liter motor you should find a way to figure out how much oil it takes.
