If you checked it cold that would give you a lower measurement. Also were you parked on a level surface each time?

Yes, the oil was definitely up to temperature when i checked it few minutes after shut down.
When I checked it three hours after shut down, at the time of turning it off it was also well up to temperature.
I make sure the car is parked at a level surface each time I do this.
