Level of oil

Which would be a better indication of the oil level on 2008 Evo X, when the car in running or when the car is turned off. Why I ask because when it's running the level of the oil is close to minimum, and when it's turned off it's close to the max.
Also, anybody knows how many quarts will go during regular oil change?

you check the oil with the car off not with the car running, i usually change my oil at 3000 miles.
