DIC Oil level changes

My 2020 GLC 300 with the M254 4-cyl engine doesn't have an engine oil dipstick. Since I believe correct engine oil level is very important, I check my DIC readout daily.
Two days ago, after an hour of driving like an old man, I took this picture:



Today, after doing the exact same drive, I took this picture:



I promise I added nothing to the sump between the two photos.
Can anyone explain how I could have more oil after one elapsed day?

Depends on if your vehicle is on flat surface or parked on a hill, the level will vary accordingly.

Did you perform the last oil change yourself? If so, how much oil did you put in?
