need RX-2 specific info please

ok folks, I'm having a little bit of a problem here.

I lost my original dipstick to due a major crankcase ventiliation problem (pressure blew the stick out while driving, got lost somewhere on the road). I've got a universal replacement from NAPA while I track down an original but in the meantime, I've lost a bunch of oil and can't tell how much is in the pan anymore cuz the markings on the dipstick are wrong.

Can someone with an RX-2 take a couple of measurements and tell me how many inches from the end of the stick the ADD and FULL marks are?

thanks!

I had one and they aren't anything alike - the sump is different on the 7 and the stick is a different length.

ok...

from the very bottom it goes like this:
1.5cm "L 2.2" zone
3.7cm space
1.4cm "F 4.5" zone
18.5cm stick
3.5cm ribbed part
and that's the top... about a 29cm total
