When I got my car back from FSI, one of the first things discussed was oil level. Guidance given was to check oil level only after the car sat overnight and to use the electronic gauge. Difference between the bottom of the e-gauge and the top is equivalent to <1 quart and if indicator was mid-to-top of the gauge, just leave it alone and don't try to top it off. Reason that overfilling is more dangerous than underfilling. For the last few years, I have been filling to 1 or 2 bars from the top of the e-gauge and have had no issues.
