Default Oil level Indicator higher than normal ?

Hi there....

Recently I bought a 06 limited with currently 71K on the clock and was time for a oil change.

Mobile 1 0w 40W + new filter was used.

Of course driving around is fine, oil indicator is just below the mid level. But when idle after a few mins it's were you can see it in the below pic. A/C is off.



Inspecting the AC/Fan, it does engage and blow air into the engine, once it drops down a little it switches off and comes back on when rises.

6 hrs later after letting the car sit I started and let it idle for 20mins ( revving it a little and having AC on for few mins ) in the below pic is were it seemed to level off.



Oil Level check says OK, 7.8 quarts was put in, Oil stick shows level to be at the max.

So I ask ? is this "normal" or should I be a little concerned ? I think it could be the fan kicking in at higher temps or maybe the sensor is bad ?

If it is bad can anyone who lives in Denver CO recommend a shop or mechanic that can fix the issue ?

Any advice is appreciated.....
