What is the length of 2005 Chevy Colorado Z71 oil dipstick

The manual calls for 6qts (5.6L) for an oil change including filter. With exactly 5.6L after the change and allowing the engine to run and then sit for 5 min. the oil reads below the but line (need oil mark). I believe the dipstick is incorrect or the manual gives a conservative answer since it looks like it will need 6L (I removed 5L). Can someone please help?

4x4 3.5 L engine

If the manuel says 6 qt thats what it takes. Sometimes 5 min is not enough time for all the oil to run down from the top of the engine check the oil after 1 hour if you removed the same amount that you put in I think you are safe

Pulling engine out and replacing it

Why don't you just pull the one head and have it surfaced and check the valves, fix the problem, put on a new gasket and see what happens. It is a lot easier than pulling the motor.
