On my 9000T, the oil filler tube pulled out of the engine block according to my mechanic. He said he fixed it, but the next 3 oil changes I noticed the dipstick was reading 1.5 qts high. At the next oil change, at a different place I mentioned this and asked them check into it. They put in 4.5 qts. and the dipstick read 1.5 qts. high. It appeared that the first mechanic cracked the plastic filler tube and cut off an inch to fit it back into the block, or simply inserted it too far into the block.
If after draining and refilling the proper amount, I would trust that before I would rely on the dipstick reading. If the dipstick is the problem and you drain a qt., you could run low on oil before you know it.
My car has an oil level sensor, which gives me an added safety margin. But I don't believe your car does.
