Assuming you're checking the engine immediately after running it, it'll be fine, go with what the dipstick says.

Just be aware that if you've filled it with 2.6l, thought it was a bit low, then spent a couple of minutes finding some oil, topping it up, etc, then filled it up and checked the dipstick without running the engine again - then in that time some of the oil in the tank has probably drained back into the sump, making the oil look too low/allowing you to get more in.
