Ford specs are 6 qrts. The dipstick does not show oil all the way to the top of the "full" mark, but as long as it is in the "full" range, the oil level is fine. Some people add the 1/2 qrt, but it is not necessary.

I noticed the same thing when we bought our '01
The dealer told me that the "book" was incorrect, and that the other half a quart is what it took to make it "full".
Others say it is optional.
