The oil level is set up for the damping system and to control the pressure inside the fork when it's compressed.

The oil level is measured before installing the springs so the only thing that would change the oil level distance would be if the new springs had a different volume compared to the old ones.

If you're concerned about that you could try and measure the oil level with the old springs installed and with the new ones.
