Default Rising oil level V70 D5 205 year 2010

Rising oil level V70 D5 205 year 2010

From factory to 18,000 miles – oil at the max level (4 bars on the electronic gauge), no top up required (Factory Castrol oil)

After 1st service 18,000 to 36,000 miles – oil at max level no top up required (Castrol oil)

After 2nd service From 36,000 miles – the oil level seems to hover from 3 bars to 4 bars (max level). The garage advised me that the recent software update has reduced the oil amount to account for rising oil level (Mobil 0w/30 oil)

Should I be worried about any damage this may have caused to the engine since new and consider a replacement car.

Thanks
