You could also build up too much oil pressure and blow out some seals maybe... I use the 5gal. jugs from Walmart.

4.5 quarts here, 5.0 puts it over the top mark of the dipstick. Too much oil = blowing out your seals from what I've heard...

I always fill mine with 4.5 qts. I'll check it the next day and top it off from there.

If you blew your seals you would know it since oil would be leaking out onto your driveway like a jalopy. If it's not, you should be fine.
