Is that an after market dip stick ? much easier to read than the stock one.

Did you remove the dipstick, wipe it dry then dip the oil for a reading? You'll then see a more defined reading.

I can't see where the oil level is in the photo but if it lies between max and min marks then you're ok. The Owners handbook does go into detail on how to read the level. My TFSI manual says leave it 5 mins. after driving before taking a reading. If you are getting the same consistent readings then you are reading it correctly.
