weird oil change issue

[tig488]

about a month ago i got a low oil pressure CEL, check the oil 3-4 times, the stick was dry.  ive noticed my 14 AT burns oil and its usually a couple qtz low when i change the oil. i was about 1500 miles early on a change so I added 3 qtz and then there was enough on the stick to be over the low line.   fast forward to today when i changed the oil, 8 qtz drained.  so for some reason when the stick was dry it actually had oil in it.  anybody every seen anything like this.

My very first thought is Oil pan. Does your truck have an aftermarket oil pan? Just a first thought though...Normally, oil expands after being ran. The fact that yours is not showing up at all though? Very weird. I know sometimes dip sticks can end up being too short as well. It would be worth looking into checking with a neighbor/ someone else you know with same engine and truck just to be sure. (or just buy a new OEM if you are paranoid like me)
