How to check oil level for consumption SB?

I recall seeing some very specific instructions on how to check oil level when doing the consumption test - something like reading it with the engine warm within so many minutes of shutdown, or something equally picky.
However I can't seem to find them now - they don't seem to be in the SB itself. Anyone know where I can find them, please let me know.
BTW my test was a fiasco. Went in at exactly 1300 miles to have the level read and they said I was supposed to have an appointment, and the soonest they could do it was the following week. We needed the car that weekend so I said the hell with it and pulled off all the seals and topped up the oil, and found it down almost exactly 1 qt.

From the instructions:
With the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil level on the dipstick.
With the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil level on the dipstick.
- Park the vehicle on level ground. After turning off the engine, wait more than five minutes for the oil to drain back into the bottom of the engine.
- Wipe the dipstick clean.
- Reinsert the dipstick fully.
- Holding a rag under the end, pull the dipstick out and check the oil level.
- Wipe the dipstick and reinsert it fully
Where I live the most difficult part is finding a level place to park. I use the level apps in my iPhone.
