A couple things can most commonly wore piston rings which cause the engine to burn off oil that is allowed to leak into a cylinder where combustion occurs. Could also be a faulty engine seal allowing oil to leak when parked or during operation. I would check for leaks first.

What happens if you put 3 quarts too much oil in your engine?
It will cause sever engine wear. The crankshaft will make contact with the excess oil and create a froth of oil mixed with air. This froth is a poor lubricate which will cause severe engine wear. Drain out the excess oil immediately.
What does it mean went the dip stick on a 99 Tahoe it over full?
Too much oil can do serious damage to your engine. The excess oil will come in contact with the crankshaft creating a froth of oil mixed with air. This is a poor lubricant and will cause serious engine wear. Drain out the excess oil.
Can too much oil cause your engine to stop?
No, it will not cause the engine to stop but it will cause internal engine damage if it is overfilled to the point that the crankshaft makes contact with the oil in the oil pan. This will cause cavitation and will cause air to be mixed with the oil creating a froth. This air mixed with the oil is a poor lubricant and will cause internal engine wear to all bearing and moving parts. Drain out all excess oil immediately.
What happens if engine oil overfilled by 1litre in a rover 414 16valve?
More than likely no damage was done but it is possible. If you overfill an engine the excess oil can make contact with the crankshaft. This will cause the oil to be saturated with air. This air mixed with the oil is a poor lubricant and will cause engine wear. Park the vehicle on a level surface, check the oil level (engine cold) and drain out the excess oil immediately.
What are the effects of excess engine oil in your car?
if you put a excess of oil in your engine it will cause your oil pressure to rise to extremes and in result you will blow a head gasket and/or oil pan gasket.. both are expensive to fix. The above answer is totally incorrect. To much oil will cause the crankshaft to make contact with the excess oil. This will create cavitation. This will mix air with the oil creating a foamy mix. This drastically reduces the lubricating ability of the oil causing severe engine wear on all bearings and rings, plus overheating. Drain out any excess oil immediately and never overfill a crankcase.
Can not getting an oil change regularly seize an engine?
No, but you can cause excess wear on the engine. Oil gets dirty and that dirt will cause engine wear and sludge. Change the oil & filter every 5,000 miles or as outlined in your owners manual. Engines are very expensive, but oil is not near as expensive.
What happens when you put to much oil in your Nissan maxiam?
Too much oil can cause severe engine damage. For that reason drain out the excess immediately.
What could cause oil pouring from my car engine?
Oil Filter seal break
What will hapans if excess engine oil pour in car?
It can do just as much damage as too little oil. Drain out the excess oil.
What damage can too much oil do in an engine?
Too much oil in an automotive engine can cause high oil pressure. High oil pressure could cause blown seals and gaskets allowing oil to leak out.
What will happen if you use to many quarts of oil?
Overfilling the crankcase is just as bad as under-filling. The excess oil will make contact with the crankshaft as it is spinning. This will create a froth of oil mixed with air. Air is not a lubricant and this air mixed with the oil will cause engine parts such as bearing and rings to wear. The engine will also overheat due to this excess wear. Bottom line is to never overfill and if you do then immediately drain out the excess oil.
What happens to your car when there is to much oil in an engine?
The crankshaft can make contact with the oil and cause cavitation. This will create a froth of oil mixed with air. This oil/air mixture is a very poor lubricant. This will cause severe engine wear on all moving parts. If you continue to run this engine it will self destruct. Always drain out any excess oil when you overfill.
