Sump plus filter = 8½ pints or 4.83 litres.
Or for the colonials 5.1 US qt.
Chucking 5 litres in is 'overfilling' by a whopping 170ml.
5 US quarts is underfilling by 94ml.
When you consider the inaccuracy of a dipstick, I'm sure both methods are within tolerance...

You've got about 1/4 of a quart too much. And overfilling can spill onto the clutch disc. Not a cheap repair.
5 Litres is too much

Say what ??
You'd have to basically fill the entire crankcase before that happened...

The oil filter + hose holds oil + around a half a quart. (probably a little less)
So now your'e on the full side for sure = but sitting for 3 months will let alot of oil settle into the pan.
I would go with it and not sweat it.
Get it warm go for a drive and re check... Wont do any harm.
your fresh oil looks gross= should have changed the filter.
Good luck
