Default Min Max of Engine Oil Dipstick

Using the later dipstick in my 2001 XKR:
What is the difference in liters between min and max?
I am used to a difference of 1 liter in many, many engines, but the XKR seems to have 1,4 . . . 1,5 ( did they just raise the max marker on the new dipstick??)
Couldn't find a figure in the manual.

This information is essential for a quick calculation of the oil consumption!

Thanks for your help.
Bill

The owner's manual and the TSB should have the info.

Thanks for your quick reply.

As I wrote I could not find that information in the driver's manual and the TSB just mentions the design change @VIN with its production part numbers.
My dipstick is the late version, # XR83-6752-AC.
Again: if I fill up from MIN with 1 liter, the dipstick shows me a level far below MAX. What is the difference in liters between MIN and MAX? Any idea or link?

Any idea, guys?

How do you calculate your oil consumption? Just with the oil change once a year (with a sound engine)?
I still couldn't find any figures in all the official documents (TSB, owners manual, vehicle care handbook).
