I think he means one side of the dipstick is full to the 2 holes, but when you flip the dipstick the other side is in the middle. Mine did that and i was just went with the side that showed full

When I check the oil, I twist the dipstick back and forth a bit when its fully seated. That little wiggle seems to do the trick of equalizing both sides.

There should never be that kind of difference between one side to the other. At most, it would 1 to 1.5 "X's" (or 1.5 diamonds), in which case, it really doesn't matter which side you take as it's not a significant difference. Either you've got the car on an uneven surface or you're doing it wrong.
