I think it's 12 quarts before you can see the oil from the cap so why stop at 5?

Ohhhh, nasty but funny as hell!
On a serious note, wait for the oil to settle down (give it at least 10-15 minutes) after a drive and check your oil level carefully. Too much oil will cause your crankshaft to splash on the oil inside the crankcase and ..... create too much bubbles (like milk shake, eh) and consequently your engine lubrication will be compromised.
