5 quarts of oil?

I changed the oil in a 2016 Rubicon with the 3.6 V6. When I filled with oil and warming it up it was showing full with only 5 quarts. The owners manual says it takes 6. What are your thoughts on this? I wondered if the dip stick was not the one that belongs in this engine.

Did you also change the filter?

Yes, new Mopar filter, I'm still hung up on the length of the dip stick. This just don't make sense.

It's pretty simple to figure out if it's the dipstick. Measure it. It should be 15.13", according to google.

Did you check before or after you started it? The new filter will will hold some oil so need to start her up for a couple if minutes then let it sit for a couple of minutes and recheck it.

Actually drove it some with the same results. I'll figure it out. Thanks.
