Hard to read dip stick and consumption of oil

I bought the E400 this past April. Since new, I find it difficult to read the maroon color dip stick. I currently have 4K miles. My concern is whether this engine consumes oil more than average engine, particularly when new.

Also any replacement dip stick available that does not have maroon color plastic tip. Thanks!

Hey Flash you been outa the galaxy for awhile---the way we do it on Pluto is via the electro neuron process----when we stick our finger in a fluid some how my brain looks at the finger and says wow that part of the finger is dry, it must not be that deep.


Now, see if you can apply that process to your dip stick dilemma and by the way do you know how to read your dip stick?
