Does 0.5 cm above the oil level limit have any impact?

Being 0.5 cm above the oil level limit has no impact. The normal range for engine oil is between the two marks on the dipstick. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, consists of base oil and additives. It serves multiple functions such as lubrication, reducing friction, aiding in cooling, sealing against leaks, preventing rust and corrosion, and acting as a shock absorber. It is often referred to as the 'lifeblood' of a car. Engine oil is composed of base oil and additives. Base oils are categorized by quality into Group I, Group II, and Group III base oils, with Group I and II being mineral oils and Group III being synthetic base oils. There are various types of additives, and the quantity and quality of these additives directly influence the API quality rating of the lubricant.
