"and the bars were just to the top of the line... leaving me an extra bar." ... as I understood it, vagueness of the indicator not withstanding, the bars should be up to the line but not above. The top bar being lit is an indication it's overfilled?

Nope... just depends. Mine shows full to the very top mark with the dipstick at the full level. And is important to keep levels topped up, but as stated, over full leads to problems, as it does in most engines. But the AOS makes these motors a bit more sensitive to overfilling.
