Does adding 0.2 litres of extra engine oil have any impact

It makes no significant difference. The engine oil capacity largely depends on the oil pan design, which typically features a wider top and narrower bottom. An additional 0.2 litres should remain within reasonable limits.

Even if it slightly exceeds the recommended level, it won't cause any issues.
