The oil dipstick isn't that accurate as you think. I bet after an hour or two's of driving your oil level gauge will read low with just five quarts of oil in the sump.

Buy seven quarts and just dump them in. End of story. IF you really can't afford two extra quarts... you have bigger problems coming.

On your advice, which I trust, I changed my oil today and added just under 7 quarts. My oil level said it was down a quart. When I dumped my oil back into a 5 quart jug, it didn't quite fill it up, so I assume I was closer to two quarts low.
