2001 prizm oil change

checked the oil like 2 weeks ago and it read fine

dad checked it last week after he topped of my washer fluid, it read fine

i changed it this weekend and 2 quarts drained... and it was empty except for the filter

so i filled it with 2 quarts to see if maybe the other 2 were still in there, they weren't so it took about 4 quarts

wtf?

why did it read fine? and take more than it said it should've?
