I've lost count at how many wacky readings I've gotten from the dash. And that dip stick...forget it. That seems like checking the space shuttle for leaks with a garden hose.

Level? The car doesn't roll away in neutral.
Most cold pits at a track are pretty level to allow for jacking up the car/changing tires/changing sway settings etc.
Adding oil? 3oz and re-check.
The oil is never cold at a race track but when the timer on the dash allows you to check it, it's ready. I can't speak for others dash gauge but mine and my brother's seem to work just fine. I check it every time I get gas also. Just using the tools at hand to continue playing the game. No dead motors due to oil starvation. No replacement AOS due to overfilling. Seven years and counting...
