Default Do I need more oil?

I just did an oil change for my 94 suzuki which the manual noted it required 3.5 quarts. Well I filled it up with 3.5 quarts and it was between the Full and Low level so I started up the engine and the oil went all the way down below the Low level. I then added another 1/4 quart of oil hoping it would go back up but it barely moved so should I add more oil or is this normal?
