You want to check oil level when engine is up to operating temperature as the oil expands when heated up, some oils more than others but give it 5-10min after turning engine off so that oil can flow back to the sump.

The S5 has a digital readout (I've added an old fashioned dipstick too!) and it only allows you to check it electronically when the oil has warmed up - you have to leave it to settle for 2 minutes before the reading is considered accurate.
On the S8 I don't find it moves much between services and generally just check it cold.....
