Two things.
1. Yes you understood what he said correctly "3/4 full between max and min on the dipstick"
2. While the high mark is labeled as 'full' please re-read the manual, you are supposed to maintain oil between the two marks, you are not instructed to maintain the oil level at the higher mark.
"If the oil level is below or near
the low level mark, add engine
oil of the same type as already in
the engine."
That's it, there's no 'fill to top line' or 'maintain above 50% between the marks' it is very specifically 'keep the level above the low mark'
Also:
"Avoid overfilling, or the engine could be damaged."
