Feels like the brakes are burning? What does that mean?

Yes, too much oil can harm your engine.

But I thought you were the mustang expert...

Just curious.. what makes you link overfilling engine oil to smoking breaks?

Also.. does it feel like the brakes are rubbing? Can you put it in neutral and roll from a stop on a small hill?
Is there a lot of brake dust on your wheels?
