Simply means the stick has a good seal on it when it is inserted. As you run the engine, the oil level detected by the stick is lower down on the stick(due to less volume in the pan from circulation of the oil through the engine) - that level is retained on the stick. When you shut the engine down, the seal (stick cap to tube) is good enough to keep the oil from moving up the stick until you remove the stick the first time (breaking the seal). When the seal is broken, the oil in the pan rises up the tube to give you an accurate measurement. Confused you yet? (I am). bob f.
