I don't think I've ever gotten an accurate reading from the dash. It seems that if the car is pitched nose up I'll get these crazy readings with only 3 bars. As a habit I check the oil while filling up the gas tank. I'm really glad I have a Boxster that still has a dip stick. I keep a roll of blue shop towels to clean up the dip stick before reinserting and checking the oil level. Last time I checked I was right at the second line and changed the oil (MOTUL X 8100 5w40) about 3k miles ago. No topping off since. I also check the tire pressure and do a quick wipe down of the windshield with rain-x. It's a good practice vs. just sitting there.
