Just go buy another quart and you will be fine. My car usually only takes 4.5 quarts too. And I drain that biatch pretty damn good. I jack the rear and pull the front plug on the pan and than I jack the front and pull the rear plug on the pan so it shift all the oil. And I make sure that the oil is warm so it comes out a little thinner.
