I have never run low on oil, in the 4 years I've owned the car. It was running OK.
The cam marks are not horizontal at the 40 degree point. In the drawing above you can se that if the crankshaft was turned so that they were horizontal then the 40 degree mark would have gone by the pointer.
The crankshaft key is at the top when the 40 degree mark lines up. You should be able to see the slot in the pulley at the top.
