Your oil is low. Fill it until it registers.

Did you check it while the car was on an angle?

Sounds retarded, but you'd be amazed at how many people do this.

Or did you check it right after you shut off the motor. The Dipstick only registers around 1 1/2 quarts, you would need to let a warm car sit for a few minutes to get a accurate reading.
