it kinda sounds weird but the other day i gave my 4.9 an oil change and i also changed the oil pan gasket when that was done pored 5qts in (what the manual said) started it up no leaks drove it around to let the oil warm up and when i checked the dip stick it red 1 qt low checked it again today its exactly on the one qt low line (there is still a slight oil leak). this is the first oil change i have done to it since i got the truck and it was always in the safe zone before so am i supposed to have 6qts in it or is the dipstick wrong. i would appreciate any help

 

You have bee useing that dipstick all along so fillerup 6 qts with filter. Bubbabud 2011 XLT SC Ecoboost

 

Is the truck absolutely level? These engines tend to show different readings when it's not absolutely level. Even a slight in/ decline will throw it off
