Leave it. It takes 5 but only about 4.5 come out when you drain it. 1/2 over will do no harm

I have to disagree. Put five qts in if the engine is newly rebuilt and has not yet had oli added. After that initial fill, only four qts should be added at oil change. Excessive oil will be pushed out the rear main, an unnecessary waste and mess.
