Are you sure those aren't cm measurements? If not, you must have
a real bowling green of a lawn there to be even able to measure
the dips.

If it is mm then top dressing will get it in no time. If it is cm then
probably filling them with topsoil and sharp sand 1:1 and reseeding in
spring will be as good and cheap as anything. Autumn weed and feed is a
waste of money. You might gain something by scarifying the existing
thatch and/or punching holes in it with a hollow forked for drainage.

A picture is worth a thousand words here. Grass is quite difficult to
kill although it can get overrun with weeds like dandelions quickly. You
mustn't walk on or apply weed & feed to the newly seeded bits.
