Oil break down & viscosity?

Oil break down & viscosity?
My book calls for oil level to be 1/2 on the dipstick cold.
Hot oil level should be at the top of the dipstick.
My levels were there when I changed oil. The cold level
is getting higher and the hot level lower, as time goes by.
As oil breaks down with miles, does it expand and contract
less? If it does, and I go by the cold level I would running
with low oil levels.
I always go by the hot level. I am just curious about this.
I am sure someone in here has the answer.
