It's a handy piece of info for the guys at the dealerships that do oil changes, so how much oil between-the-dots represents may be in the Owner's Manual and/or the FSM.
If that's the case then I'm sure the amount I'm over is not enough to think twice about (even though I already have!). I'm sure the engineers have designed the engine to allow for a small amount of accidental overfill. I mean just think of all the people out there with this car, I'm sure there is plenty who have had the level a tad over without having a negative impact on their engine.
