I just did the first oil change on the Ram in my sig. I put 7500mi on the oil/filter that was put in by the GMC/Buick dealer I bought the truck from. Anyway, I've owned one other Pentastar equipped vehicle, which was our 2013 Grand Caravan and I always did my own oil changes on it. I don't quite recall this anomaly with our Grand Caravan, but with my 2017 Ram, the owner's manual specs 6qts with filter change. After changing the oil and filter and 5min of idle time to check for leaks (engine already warm), 6qts wouldn't even read on the dipstick. It took 6.5-7qts to read on the stick?
At least 6.5-7qts of used oil drained out.
FWIW, with 7500mi on the oil, the oil life monitor was only down to 28%. I'd probably be at 10000mi if I ran it to zero life. Super easy and mess free oil change on the Pentastar powered Ram. A little tough to reach the oil filter housing. I needed a step stool to reach it well.
