The manual says to check the oil with the motor at full operating temperature, which means a good half hour or longer of driving. Then turn the car off and wait a few minutes. I wait 5. Then check with the dipstick. The level should be between the marks.

Using this method, when the stick shows full, if I check the oil in the morning, before I start the car, the dash oil level is above max and the dipstick also shows above full. I believe this is perfectly normal since the specified method for checking the oil is a few minutes after shut down, not in the morning after its been sitting all night.

If your dipstick shows the correct level with the above method, you are ok.
