...Just as a side note too much oil can overheat the motor...
if the oil level is high enough it can become aerated, and foam, which means that in each volume of oil there is a content of air, which doesnt protect bearing surfaces well.
one thing you can do is get an oil test to find out whether there is excess bearing material present.
How long did it run for with 5 litres in? How hard was it driven? If you filled, started, checked, then realised and dumped a litre, it woulnd't have damaged anything.
Was it running fine after the radiator change?
Which flush did you use, and was there a lot of carbon when you dumped it?
