As with any car, it depends on how much extra oil is added. If enough extra oil is added, the oil level will reach the crankshaft throws (i.e. piston rod connections), and get whipped up into a froth (like a latte) as air is mixed in with the oil. If the froth gets sucked in by the oil pump for circulation through the engine, the surfaces that are normally lubricated by constant film of oil may instead have air injected on their surfaces. This is not a good thing. It's almost the same as having too little oil. If you think you put in too much oil, and you see a lot of foam on the dipstick afterwards, you may have to drain some of the oil out.

Why would a high oil light come on in a 2006 Chrysler crossfire?
The engine oil is overfilled.
Can you run your small engine with oil coming out of exhaust?
Your engine is most likely overfilled with oil. Check your oil and make sure it isn't overfilled. However a little oil coming out the exhaust isn't gonna hurt anything, your just gonna waste a heak of a lot of oil
Why does your Briggs and stratton lawn mower blow blue smoke and oil?
Worn piston rings. Incorrect weight engine oil. Gasoline mixed with engine oil. Crankcase overfilled with engine oil.
What happens when you overfill your motor with oil?
If you know that you have overfilled with oil, then before you start the engine, drain some out by the drain plug. But, if you did run the engine, depends at what rpm, you just might blow some seals, or force oil out thru some seals. Hopefully no other damage.
What is the oil capacity of a 2001 VW Jetta 1.8L?
The 2001 VW Jetta 1.8 liter engine has and oil capacity of for quarts. The engine oil should never be overfilled.
Why is oil blowing from the dip stick from a Toyota 2000 Camry just had oil changed?
You have overfilled the engine. Drain the oil to the appropriated level.
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 if you overfill with oil?
Overfilling your car with engine oil is very unadvisable. If the oil is only slightly overfilled the engine will likely not have any problems, but overfilling by more than 1/2 quart or so (depending on the oil capacity of the engine) can result in several problems. The oil will be aerated by the excessive agitation caused by constant contact with the rotating components inside the engine, which can cause engine failures. Also, if drastically overfilled the oil will likely be sucked into the intake system possibly causing "hydrolocking" which will damage the engine. Hydrolocking is unlikely, and since it is relatively simple to remove oil from the engine there is no good reason to operate the engine while over-filled with oil.
What is the oil capacity for a 1997 Acura Integra?
The 1997 Acura Integra takes from 4.2 to 4.4 quarts of oil depending on the engine. Check the dipstick to make sure the oil is not overfilled.
What happens if you add too much oil to your engine and drive?
Depends on what you mean by too much. If you overfilled it by say 1 pint then more than likely no damage will be done. Simply drain out the excess. If, however you overfilled it by more than that then serious damage can occur. The crankshaft can make contact with the excess oil and whip it into a froth. This froth of oil mixed with air is a poor lubricant and will provide far less protection from wear than 100% oil. Drain out the excess immediately.
