You have to reach up the tailpipe until you feel something slippery. 
Then check the dipstick. if the oil level is between the two marks, you good. If it is below the lower mark, add a quart (or liter)
EDIT I reread the post again. WTF are you asking?

I said check every 2000km for the sake of saying it. You don't need to put oil everytime.
Only take you 5 min to check oil and admire the car - what is wrong with that

I'd be surprised if you really used half the oil in three dyno runs.

Your dipstick is your gauges Kenny. There are, however, some gauges in the US that has marking to show how much oil to add from the mark to full.
Is there a phobia of getting your hand dirty? Even Kalli check her oil.
You are welcome to drive to a dealership at get their manager to check it for you

As useless as the oil pressure gauge might appear to be, it can actually show oil level. On full it is 2 small slit to the right, if it even decrease by 1 or half a slit it requires refill.
