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.

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.


How do you know if you have to much oil in your car?

Use the dipstick. If the oil line is over the line that says something like MAX. you have too much. In any case, it will usually blow a lot of the excess out of the crankcase breather and oil will be all over that side of the engine and engine compartment.


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.
