Engine oil amount for 2000 9-3 base 2.0L engine?

I need some clarification. I have a 2000 9-3 base model (not the SE) with around 130k miles on it. The owner's manual says it takes 4 liters of oil for the engine and that is what I had always used the few times I changed the oil myself and is what I thought was used other times when the oil was changed by the deale, local indy shop, etc.
I have been using Mobil 1 since my second oil change and had recently bought one of the 5 quart Mobil 1 jugs at Walmart. Today when I took my car in for an oil change with the full 5 quart jug, I told the guy to just leave the extra in the jug and I would pick it up with the car. He called back later to say they put in the 4 liters, but it still read low on the dip stick, so they topped it off with the remainder of the jug and then it seemed to read fine. Five quarts seems like an overfill to me when the spec says 4 liters. Any opinions?
