Default dipstick low

Hey,
One more question. I know my 4.2 in my 98 f-150 STX takes 6 quarts when changing the oil. How come it always shows up a quart low on the dipstick? Should I put more oil in it?

my guess is that if you know for sure that it takes 6 quarts just put six quarts in it. the dipstick tube could have slid out or something. definatly get that looked at
