When to measure engine oil, it constantly varies

I hate new sensor measure of oil on my 2018 s class, previous dipstick was much batter.
Now I am constantly having variations, one day it is on minimum, next day on maximum, then in the evening on the middle.

How to know what is the most accurate? This way I have no idea how much and when I should add the oil since it changes everyday.

Measure the oil level 10 minutes after a drive where the engine has fully achieved operating temperature. The vehicle should be stopped, and must be on a level surface. Measure oil level the same way every time or you will be posting threads like this each time you measure the oil level.

When you do a full oil and filter change you need to put in 9.5 or 9 and a half bottles of oil.
My car stays at 9-9.5 till my next oil change.
the number fluctuates alot, but you can get a good idea of whats actually in the motor.
