What happens if you put too much oil in a car?

Answer 1

If the crank shaft spins and contacts a pool of oil, it will “whip” it into a bubbly/foamy oil. Little bubbles of air pockets equal no oil coverage as they make their way between moving parts. Ironically, too much oil creates a situation similar to too little oil.
