For 1/2 to 1 quart remaining in the engine for a normal oil drain (with filter change), a clean oil condition is never achieved.
5 1/4 would be if it was a new engine that never had oil in it. During an oil change there is no way to get all of the oil out of an engine. There are too many places for it to sit.
