M813 oil capacity

Well I changed the oil in my M813 this past weekend and something is not right. I installed one of the spin on filter adapters from fleetgard. I put 5 gallons in the engine and ran it a minute. I figured I would need to add a least another gallon but it is at the top of the "H" mark. The book says it should take 23 quarts without a filter change and 27 with one. So even if I had not did anything with the filter, 20 quarts is almost a gallon low. Do I have enough in it? Is my dipstick not right? The new spin on filter should be close to the capacity of the old one. It's not that much smaller than the old canister.

Recap: I removed all old oil (I think, only one drain?) and refilled engine with new spin on filter with only 20 quarts. Is that too little?
