Totaly normal. Don't forget the oil filter takes up oil as well. Sounds like you didn't burn a drop if you put in 5 1/8 and got 5ish out if you include what the filter would take. Even if you burnt 1/8th that's nothing between oil changes....

It still blows my mind how TINY the filter on our cars are.... even the "big" Purolator or Wix seem so small....
