3SGTE Dipstick problem

I need some help.
I have a GT4 165 with a dipstick that is too long to go all the way into the holder. This means it doesn't make a seal.
I was having some oil leak problems so i wanted to rule this out and i got a dipstick from a 3SGE, which is heaps shorter, and it fits in the hole right.
Long term problem is i cant check my oil properly.
Can i use a dipstick from a ST162 for my ST165? ie do they have the same block, sump combo so can I use the 3SGE dipstick?
Also how much oil does the 3SGTE take? is it close to the 3SGE
I'm due for a change and by putting in the right amount i can see which dipstick shows the right readings.
And yes i'm possitive that the orig dipstick doesn't fit, i've tried it from heaps of angles. No go.
Thanks for any input
