Oil pan spacer and dipstick

Is the stock dipstick long enough to have accurate readings when utilizing an oil pan spacer? Just thought of that as I was checking oil. Sent from my SPH-D710 using

yes, it is. It measures at the top of the reservoir. If you add the spacer, you also add extra oil to bring the top of the oil level up to the same place in relation to the dipstick.
