A mark at the top of the dipstick would be very useful
I did exactly that on my dipstick - but it's not a very precise mark, I did it as a quick reference to see if the dipstick was in far enough. I just went and measured it and it's in the region of 77cm.
Note this isn't exact, just a rough idea, and it's feasible that the dipstick tube on my car is a different length to yours. I found the whole process of measuring the level very uncertain - I still think mine is a overfilled, but the dealer mechanic insists it's fine.
