When the engine oil is overfilled, the oil level may reach the crankshaft and cause it to whip the oil into a froth. This can cause the oil to lose its lubricating properties and damage the engine. In addition, overfilled oil can cause the engine to overheat and cause the oil to break down and lose its viscosity. This can lead to engine failure.
It is important to maintain the correct oil level in your engine. The oil level should be checked regularly and should never exceed the "full" mark on the dipstick. If you find that your engine oil is overfilled, you should immediately drain the excess oil.
Here are some signs and symptoms of overfilled engine oil:
- Engine oil level is above the "full" mark
- Frothy or milky appearance of engine oil
- Oil leaking from engine
- Engine overheating
- Engine knocking
- Engine failure
