Default oil level on gsr

ok guys so i got an eg coupe with a gsr in it... my problem is that my car sits a little crooked towards the left (not bad... about a half inch difference between the wheel well and tire)and i have problems reading the oil level... when its on a flat surface it says i am halfway between the first and second line, but when i park the car on a slight angle so that it is favoring the drooping side (makes the car look even), it says i am about a couple milimeters above the 2nd line... which angle should i start judging the oil level on? the flat surface or the angled one?

You're parking on a surface that is sloping MUCH more than 1/2" in 6 feet or so (the width of the car). 1/2" in 6 feet is barely even noticeable as sloping. My garage slopes more than 2" front to rear in its 20-foot depth, and I can hardly even tell it slopes at all. I had to get out a laser level to see that it even sloped that much.

So yeah, the more accurate reading is when you're parked on a flat surface.
