and what is the length of the metalic section to your max oil level you use ? (quelle est la longueur de la partie metalique jusqu'au niveau maxi d'huile que tu mets, en prenant la mesure juste après le plastique ?)

I believe that would be 49 CMs (+/- 1 to 2 mm). I put oil to the top of the top hole.
(bravo pour la question bien formulée!)

49 cm is ok, but you can put oil to about 4 mm more than the higher hole on the dipstick (on Atom 2) , and if it's not ok with this, your baffled sump is perhaps the reason.
An Atom 2 with Ariel Baffled sump and with this oil level (+4 mm) and good oil like you have, should not have "problem" in corner.
Other/last solution is to go to a thicker oil like Motul 300V 20W60.
