Default V40 oil and reduced performance warning

Hi all. I've just read with interest a thread about V40 oil. I recently had a local garage change the oil. I have read that the oil level needs to be calibrated after a change. I do not believe they have done this.
I am getting a check oil level warning. When I do so, it shows that it is at its max.
Could it be over full or is it just because it has not been calibrated?
I also occasionally see a "reduced engine performance" warning with a tortoise emblem.
When I took the car to Volvo for a recall, they said that there are no messages or history on the cars computer regarding this.
Could oil calibration and the reduced performance be linked?
By the way, the car doesn't seem to loose any performance when the warning comes up.
Many thanks.
Ron
