Dip Stick

I have a 2000 F150 4.6 romeo. When I change oil it always shows about a 1/2 gt low. The dealer says the dip stick maybe wrong the # on it says its for a 5.4. I don't know for sure if its ever a qt low If I get a new one should I get the tube also.Thanks

Next time I changed the oil and knew it was full, I would scratch a mark on the stick at the full mark. When it drops, I would bring it back to that mark. I would not mess with changing the stick.

1/2 quart low on the stick is correct. When it drops below the ADD mark, then add a quart.
