Default Do I need to bleed brake lines after opening caliper valve?

Hey guys,

Silly question, I know but hey.

Last night I replaced front rotor and pads. When it was time to push the caliper cylinder in the cylinder, I opened the caliper valve to avoid creating pressure in the lines. So I basically opened the valve, push the cylinder, some oil went out, once cylinder was completely in the caliper, I closed the valve and installed pads, rotor, etc... then did the other side. Then I looked at the oil reservoir and I was still way above max.

I know I could simply go for a ride and see if the brakes are ok, but the car is stored so I would like to have opinions...

So my question is, since I have opened the caliper valve, do I need to bleed the lines or am I ok?
(I think I am ok but a friend of mine thinks there could be air in the lines now)
