Well, lets see, what can happen when you add too much oil.  The crank will 
whip through the oil, splashing it on the cylinder walls, overwhelming the 
rings and you'll get smoke.  If you drive fast enougn, the crank hitting the 
oil, which is like hittig a wall, will break (do a belly flop into a pool and 
see how it feels).  You might experience a slightly rougher idle depending on 
how much excess oil there is.  Thats enough for now.
