I hd purchased one of those ****** dip stick things which was more a pain than not.
What WAS a help is the hole with cover plate I cut in the floorboard which permits me to check and fill the ****** without crawling under the car.
Without the dip stick, it should have been an inch or so to the left, but it makes ****** oil level checks a breeze.
