Oil capacity & dip stick length

89 9000T, 2nd owner.
The manual states 4.1 quart oil capacity (Heines states 4.2 liter, which equates to 4.4 quarts); yet, the oil level reaches 1" above the "Max mark" on the dip-stick after putting in only 4 quarts.
Moreover, the "Check Oil Level" light goes on when the oil level is slightly below the "Max mark".
Please enlighten me on this.
Is it possible that there are more than one dip-stick sizes and my car has the wrong size?
