Best Answer

Too much oil can cause serious engine damage from lack of lubrication. When the oil level is overfull it makes contact with the crankshaft. This creates a foaming action that mixes air with the oil. The oil then becomes a very poor lubricant and the engine will overheat and there will be bearing damage. Fouled spark plugs is the least of your worries when you overfill a crankcase.
