Sounds as though the dipstick could be off a tad. I wouldn't worry about running a half quart low but I would worry about the Fram oil filter. As far as I'm concerned they are JUNK. I would go with Wix or K&N white or what is recommended in the article below.

I second that, fram use to be tops, they have been plaqued with problems in the past few years. Wix is a great filter. If you are talking a sbc, my 350 long filter only holds less than 1/2 a quart. If you know what pan you have look up the factory capacity on ol Google, it should tell you capacity for that model and year. Best of luckWhy is mine so big and yours so small, Chrysler FirePower

Thanks for the input guys. I topped it off so I now have a full 5 quarts of oil and marked the dipstick.
