Default curious to know if having too much motor oil has negative effects...
on the car.

I check the car and noticed that my oil level on the dip stick is a little on the high side.

I know this should not be something to worry about, but was just curious on what I should do.

Thanks.

I believe it may destroy the cats... but can't remember where I read it.

Default Just a little, just this once, you'll be ok......
if you do it repetitively, it'll damage your cats.

You'll get code(s) and possibly a CEL.
