Oil over serviced. Is it a problem

I had the oil & filter changed at my dealer. It looks like they over serviced it by about a quart. It this a problem? Should I take it back and have it corrected?

You want the right amount of oil, too much and it can get dumped into your intake through the PCV system or lead to excessive oil pressure. Too little and you lose lubrication and can have low oil pressure. Hemis take 7 quarts, so just use 7 quarts.

How the hell does a dealer put the wrong amount of oil in a 5.7 Hemi? Its one of Chrysler's most popular engines across the entire CJDR lineup.
