Default Oil change overfill

Went to dealer for 1st "free" oil change on my cx 5 na. Checked dip stick when I got home to find oil level approx. 1/4 inch above full mark.
Invoice shows they put in 5 qts. I see in manual it calls for 4.8 qts.
Is this going to be a problem ?
Would appreciate any feedback.
Thank You

At that level you are still in the sump and not at the top of the sump. You may notice that there is no warning not to overfill? The balance shaft sort of prevents crankshaft drag in the event of severe over filling. And because it takes a lot more oil to raise the pan level above the oil pan flange and soak the seals and bearing that is also not a real concern. Bottom line your fine!
