With the dry sump, to check the oil level, the car needs to be warmed to full operating temp (175F+), shut off, wait 5 minutes, check level on dipstick, wait another 5 minutes, final check on dipstick. The goal with the dry sump is to be about halfway between the min & max marks.
Non-Z51 models have a traditional wet sump oil system that requires no special procedure.

Full operating temp meaning coolant temp? I don't think oil is up to operating temp in 5 minutes.
