The oil filter holds about a pint of oil when the element is saturated. Without a filter, five quarts is an overfill. I suspect the revision of the manual was done so owners wouldn't have low oil level if they installed a filter and stayed with four quarts. It is probably better to overfill and oil your garage floor, than to run low. High oil level in the pan is not dangerous unless it comes in contact with the crankshaft counterweights. Then, aeration of the oil will cause foaming, allowing the oilpump to lose prime.

This topic is certainly controversial. I have a newly rebuilt '48 in my '47, clean oil pan, and 5 quarts reads well above full on dip stick. Book says 5 quarts. It has no filter system. Experience no leaking. I sleep at night.
