Rumors since I was a teenager suggest that overfilling an engine with oil may somehow damage it. The vehicle in this case is a 1986 Camaro Z28 with Mobile 1 oil so light in color it is hard to read on the dipstick. What is the real story here? I suspect that it may have something to do with the engine throwing out oil in quantity leaving too little for safe operation. Since I have an analog oil pressure gauge, that would be apparent immediately. Thanks for all responses!
