Fortunately, any myth that adding more water than the system was designed to hold will make things better hasn't really sold very well. At least no one that I know has bought into such a thing.

For sure a gallon less than the system was designed for will have a negative result. But trying to squeeze in a gallon more certainly won't help without also increasing the radiator size and/or increasing the airflow.
