No reason or sense or is it correct to "kept checking and topping off" Again drain and add 5 quarts and 4 ounces period!
Each to their own. The fill is 5 1/8th if you get every just drop out of your engine, which is never going to happen. To prevent overfill there is nothing wrong with checking as you add the last few oz. There is probably some rounding error in the original conversion from metric anyway.

....Put in 5 quarts then check the stick. Add til it comes up to the top HOLE on the stick. This is what it is for....
