You should have put about 1.7 L (or 1.6 qt) of oil. As long as you can see the the oil level around the middle of the sight glass with the engine turned OFF, it will be fine. It seems you put little too much, but OK. Yes, it is normal for oil level in the sight glass to go down a bit when you run the engine. That's because the oil pump is now sucking it up and pushing the oil everywhere into the engine.
