I noticed the same thing in my girl friends Echo the other night. We were driving it down to Wagga to see her family so I gave it the once over and noticed that the oil was overfull by about 15mm on the dipstick. I was a bit pissed about this since the car has 8000Km on it and has been serviced at toyota for the first three services already. I called the guy at Toyota and he tried to convince me that it's normal to put in an extra litre more than is specified for the engine, just in case. He wasn't very receptive to my point of view that an engine with 5000Km on the clock really shouldn't be using enough oil to need to be overfilled by 1 litre, or that I'm pretty sure they specify a lubricant capacity for a reason.
What I'm saying is that the thing has done 3000ish K's with a bunch too much oil in it with no ill effects yet.
