I think that's more of a marketing gimmick than anything. Prods us into buying that extra quart unnecessarily.
There are only .95 liters in a US quart. So you get 10 top ups and we only get 9 1/2.
Either way, if you want to be able to rely on the sight glass you need the extra 1/10th of a quart, unless the jug is enough. And it may be if 1/10 of a liter or US quart remain in the motor after draining.
I am not surprised the Honda Canada jug is filled in the USA. Almost all of our oil is exported to the USA for refining. Canada supplies the USA with more than 40% of its crude oil, mostly from the Alberta tar sands. A good arrangement for two friendly countries joined at the hip.

You probably mean 0.95 liters in a quart .
