YES! That dip stick is horrible!

BUTT... look at the oil drops...

They're dark, not yellow.

Seem to be good.

RX8 has the dip stick problem

Good thing you asked.

Do a search so you can understand the problem

Also, find an old school guy to make sure your oil is ok.

The pics say its normal but double check.

One way to tell for sure is to change the oil. Then you will know for sure if you have a problem.
