Unhappy Oil amount

Did an oil change recently and had a real hard time removing the plug and filter. Had to use a breaker bar to get the plug off. I think the dealer used an air tool or he was a monster. I have an 1.8L engine and mistakened it for the higher one. The manual says 3.7 qts or something around there and I put in approx 4.2 qts. I am buying the 5 qt container on Amazon which made it difficult to measure. I used a hose and syringe to get out the extra through the dipstick. I was worried about foaming.
Is everyone precise or are you putting in 4 qts and not worrying about it?
