    It is possible the extra oil will do unexpected things to the engine.
    Personally, I just set aside the bottle with the oil in it.
    If later, the engine needs oil then I will put it in.
    Otherwise, just sits in the back, wrapped in plastic bags.

    I just put in only 5 quarts. It is enough.

    I would use the oil dip stick and go by what it reads.
    If not at the full line then add some oil.
