Well, basically the engine will have no lubrication and the pistons and rods will freeze in place, called seizing, and the entire engine will be a paperweight for the rest of eternity. Hope that answers your question!

Depending on how much extra oil you put in the mix (a little bit extra will probably just make for smoky exhaust), and whether you know how much extra oil you put in, you can add enough more plain fuel to make the mix correct.

The rotating assembly (crankshaft) will whip the oil into a foam causing poor oil lubrication.

If the oil level reaches a spinning crankshaft it will cause the oil to foam up and greatly reduce the proper lubrication needed to the rotating parts.

How can you tell how much oil to put in your car?

If you don't have the owners manual for your vehicle which would tell you, just add oil until it reads full on the dipstick. Don't forget to run the engine to fill the oil filter then check it again after a few minutes. Record the amount you put in so you won't have to repeat the proccess again.

If I changed the oil and spark plugs on my 2003 Stratus now the car won't start and when I try to the oil light comes on the the horn won't stop blowing what is causing this?

Changing the oil wont keep the car from starting. Changine the plugs will if you didn't put the wires back on in the proper location. The oil light will come on until the car starts and allows the oil pump to fill the filter and circulate the oil. Once started, the light should go out.
