It's  a self regulating system.  Vehicles that can keep oil clean usually aren't burning or leaking oil ;)

Most engines will show more oil after they sit overnight. All the oil has drained back into the oil pan. I check my truck after it has set overnight. If I do the Enfield that way, it will generally show being too full.
The 5 minute wait after you shut it down should be showing the level that it runs at. Although I have looked at mine while it's running and it's usually at that same level.
