Make sure you are putting the dipstick in all the way. It could be that your oil level is so low that it is not yet showing on the dipstick.
Only two things.If there is no oil showing on the dipstick, there is not enough oil in the engine.OrThe dipstick is not pushed all the way in place.
Your dipstick is showing a quart low because the oil level in your engine is below the recommended level. This could be due to oil consumption by the engine, a leak, or simply needing an oil change. It is important to top up the oil to prevent damage to your engine.
If you buy 5 quarts then you should have enough for an oil change. Check the dipstick after adding some until you see it has enough.
Maybe you added too much oil? Overfilling can cause just as many problems as being too low on engine oil. Be sure to check the dipstick after adding oil.
I would start by adding 1/2 quart then check the dipstick and keep adding and checking until it's full.

Adding oil on the dipstick or in the tube should not affect any engine performance. However, the sheer small size will likely require oil spillage, which will cause smoking and odors once the engine heats up. Also, allow about 30 minutes to elapse before reading the dipstick to guarantee level accuracy. For best results, use the appointed filler piece to add oil.
The part that the oil dipstick goes into is called the oil filler tube or dipstick tube. It serves as the conduit for the dipstick to access the oil reservoir in the engine. This tube allows for the measurement of oil levels and provides a means to add oil when necessary.
There should be a cap on the valve cover, which unscrews. Be careful not to overfill the oil resivoir. Check the dipstick 30 seconds after adding oil, to allow the oil to flow from the head into the oil pan.
To read the oil dipstick in the 1997 Ford F150, remove the dipstick from the oil reservoir. Wipe the dipstick clean and then place it back into the reservoir. Then, remove the dipstick again and look for the height of the oil on the stick. It should be in the "Full" range.
