I noticed that when I check mine there's a consistent solid line of oil on the xxxx grid part of the dipstick. But above that there is always a streak of oil making it look like it's WAY overfull. Is that streak up top just from when the dipstick picks up some excess on the way out?

Wipe the dipstick dry with a paper towel, stick it back in, pull it out and check oil level.
I might be making that up
