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.

What happens when your are low on oil in a 1987 Lincoln town car?

If you run too low on oil in any car, the engine will freeze up and be ruined. The whole engine would have to be rebuilt or replaced which would cost over $3000.00. Better get a quart or two of oil. Much cheaper than a new engine and a car that will probably never be the same again.
