Default too much oil?

I apologize in advance for probably being too **** concerning the following but: I had the oil changed yesterday with what I thought was a good drain. (5 quarts of Royal Purple added) The dipstick reading (overnight) indicated an overfill of about 1/16 of an inch or 1.6 millmeters. I think we probably all have read or been warned not to overfill on a oil change due to possible engine damage.

Should I be concerned about what seems like a very slight overfill for whatever reason? Just trying to be careful with my bady.

Thanks

Don't worry! It is OK. Trust me, I myself change oil for all my cars for a long time.

No not really. It's not like it's going to drain the engine
