The word "compulsive" comes to mind. Hot or cold the oil level will not be off enough to matter in the grand scheme of things. Hot oil runs down to the pan real fast when the motor is shut down! If it is between the marks leave it alone. If it is at or below the minimun mark add a quart. There is a TSB that says that the dipstick in most Benz cars is wrong and the car should never be filled to the top mark as that over fills the resevoir. I agree, it's a non-issue.
