oil level way low on gauge

I changed my oil for the first time today and replaced the exact amount which I took out (8 quarts) but now the oil level gauge in the dash shows one dash up from the bottom. Oil dipstick shows a little above halfway between min and max. What would cause the substantial difference in the two. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

PS. I had no metal shaving
