If my in car “gauge” reads one bar “low” I will check the dipstick. I check the DS regularly anyway. It is pretty common “knowledge” that the dipstick on these engines should always be at the top mark, thus showing full on the interior gauge. This helps with the potential issue of oil starvation and helps keep what little oil might get to the IMS a little more chance. It’s not a big deal to keep it topped up.
And yes, 100% sure the dipstick is always the final rule. Hot or cold. To me the interior gauge is a suggestion.
