My trust is with the dip stick. I let the gauge tell me if I should check the dip stick
I know exactly what PL is describing, maybe it's because I'm from NJ too.
I find with clean oil it can be hard to read the dip stick level but if you carefully lay it on a paper towel you can better see the level relative to the min/max lines.
Do to the fear of overfilling I tend to keep my level south of the max fill line. About 3/4 + of the min line
