did the oil pressure change when you changed the oil

I think I have found the problem .the stop on the dipstick has moved the service guys must of pushed it to hard and its moved on the rubber bush .I have now seen it just above the add oil mark on the stick .
Wankers at jeep ! I doing my own oil changes now !

I going to drain the oil then measure the amount of oil required .

thanks to all
