How many holes on your dipstick?
 
I just bought a used 2010 Sport. The owner's manual and service manual both show 5 holes (full, low, and 3 in between every 0.5 L). The dipstick in my car has only two holes.

I checked for superseded part numbers, and there aren't any. So 2009-11 owners, how many holes do you have in your dipstick?

(Yes, I'm an ex Miata owner. I'm obsessive about these things.)

I have 5 dimples on my OEM dip stick.

Aha -- there are indeed three faint dimples in between the two holes, but only on one side of the stick. Guess which side I was looking at before?

Yup 2 holes and 3 very (small dimples)
I just fill to cover top hole and no more
