So they changed the bottom end & oil filter. Got any pics of that area.

If you can visualize what the dipstick looks like when it is taking the reading in the pan you would realize that 2/10 of a quart is virtually negligible in taking the reading.

This isn't the type of thing to lose any sleep over. Just add your oil up to an entire 5 qts. and stop fretting over it. As long as you are not overfilled or a quart low on oil, there is nothing to worry about.

I have been changing my own oil for about 40 years and haven't run into this kind of puzzler before.

how many quarts of oil did the dinosaurs take? 0.o
