A fool proof way to ensure your dip stick reads correctly, is to change your oil & filter, add 6 qts (run the car). Let sit for a time and mark the level with a file. That is a known quantity.
I am also one who had a spun bearing after driving the car hard with a stock pan. If you ever have to pull the motor, put on a large capacity & baffled pan!
