Is this what you guys are doing to check your engine oil level? Or am I missing something.
This is also a bit of a complain that it seems unreasonable to NOT have a $10 (tops) dipstick that can help you get an instant read out of your engine oil level when doing an oil change yourself.

yup, no other way to measure. it's not very accurate either. sometimes it reads 1/2 qt low and you only add 200 ml and it'll show full again.
