I just put oil in a dry engine last week. I bought Castrol GTX 20/50 in
gallon jugs and used a tad over 1 1/2 gallons. After running the engine, I
checked the dip stick and it was about 1/8 inch down from the full mark.
Sounds like 6.25 quarts to me.

I would guess that the difference is due to the difference in Imperial pints
(20 oz.) vs. US pints (16 oz.). I f you adjust for this difference, 10 Imp.
Pints = 6.25 US quarts, which would account for the difference you observed.
I could confirm this by looking in the manual but it is in the garage and I
am in the middle of something right now.
