Looks to me like the stick is dragging on the tube (or something else) and picking up some oil on that side. Wipe the stick clean, stab it again, go by the lowest reading.

I have tried several times already on flat location, when engine is cold (first thing in the morning) as well as warm (few hour after work). I will try again tonight after work.

It's a pretty common occurrence (at least for me). To the point where I don't even notice it any more. It may help to straighten out the stick if it has a bow in it, but not really worth the effort, IMNSHO.
