The oil gage is still the most accurate measure you've got, so go with it.
Buy a vacuum tester kit from Autozone (~$20). Get one of the kits that have the small collection jar in the line. Put the vac line down the dipstick and you can draw off a bit of oil at a time. Keep checking the dipstick and drawing out oil until you're done.
You can just as easily change the oil yourself for the same price and know that the amount is correct. I am sure that you plan on changing it soon anyway with 3k since. Just my opinion?
