Default DIP STICK?

Hey all, My girl just got a new 06 civic ex. Well its time for the first oil change, I pull her in and pull out the dipstick. I dont see a High or low mark on it. I looks like there is a rectangular cut out with diagonal lines in it that might be the gauge. Ive just never seen a dip stick like that before and there was no info in the owners manual. Can someone tell me how to read this thing, sorry i guess im just used to the old school. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the imput. Do other cars use this style of dip stick cause ive never seen it before. I like the fact that its straight and not all twisted like the one on my caprice. Thanks again for the help
