More isn't always better. I've seen the damage done by having too much oil. It can blow by the rings and cause all sorts of havoc.

i never said it was GOOD either...but it IS BETTER than having NO OIL at all.

Right now I PERSONALLY OVERFILLED my oil about 1" or so...and that was my fault bc I was out of oil and super super late for work and threw a lot of oil in....quickly lol
