How much oil do YOU put in when doing an oil change?

So every time I do an oil change, I can never seem to get the level right after. I measure it when I drain it, put back in a little less and wait until the next morning to top it up.
A day or two later I'll check it again, sometimes it's still a little low so I add a bit, check the next morning and it's too much now!!!
The dip stick in these vans is the most useless thing ever.
On a side note, I know if there's too much oil it can be bad for the motor. I run an oil pressure gauge, what is a dangerous psi? Right now my oil level is a bit above max on the stick. I'll check it again tomorrow, who knows what it'll be!
