Default oil dipstick

Ok this is kinda a strange request but here goes. I just got a dipstick from someone and i am trying to figure out whether or not it is the right one. I cant remember how the marks on my previous one was due to the fact that i broke the previous dipstick. So i was wondering if anyone can take a pic of there dipstick so i can see whether or not i got the right dipstick. Im not sure if i did because my previous one had a yellow circled handle and this one has a T-shaped black handle that says "Engine oil" so i was wondering if anyone could tell me or show me a pic of their dipstick so i can see whether or not i got the right one or not. I mean its the right length and everything its just that where the "add oil mark and hole are and the full mark and hole are i believe that they are just too spread apart but not sure. I will post up a pic of the new dipstick i got.

SO all in short i need a pic of the fill and full mark area on the dipstick. Thanks in advance.

Well after draining your oil, you know how much the system holds... so you should have a pretty good idea how much to put in.
