It is always good to be aware of the amount of oil in the engine. Taking a reading when oil is cold versus when the motor has been run can give a different reading.
You don't say whether you have an oil guage or not. I find that the engine oil guage on the dash is quite accurate.

Be aware of any oil on the garage floor. You need to know if you have a leak or not. I find that the oil reading is most accurate when car has sat overnight before starting.
Do not overfill past full on the dipstick or on the guage. Allow for some expansion.
Check the owner's manual too.
Cheers, Guy.
