Hey dudes I have something thats bothering me. Its the third oil change I've gotten, and I've gotten them done at Honda. After every Oil change my dip stick reading has oil a little above the top indicator. But after a few throusand kilometeres it comes down to a little below the top indicator. Why is that? Is my engine damaged?

The Honda dealership here puts 5w30 in all the Civics. I've been running Mobil 1 5w30 every 5k miles since oil change #1 two years ago and the inside of my engine is still shiny with no deposits.
