Engine oil overflow.
I went out to check on my engine oil today and there was no oil on the dipstick. I thought I ran out of oil so I went to Shell to buy some. Poor about 3 bottles in and check it again and it went about 2 1/2 inches OVER the limit. Is that harmful for your engine?

I was basing my reply off of th fact that he did in fact wait for the oil to completely drain into the oil pan....I would be more concerned as t why there was no oil in the first place.
