Diagram cannot be accurate since it shows the end of the dipstick tube at middle of oil pan. In actuality, the dipstick tube end terminates into a small reservoir in the bottom of the oil pan, at a level lower than the drain bolt hole. That's why after extraction using the FSM method of vacuum extraction out the dipstick tube, not a drop of oil comes out of the drain bolt hole after removal for inspection.
