Re: Too much oil...

[Elliott Potter <epotter@abraxis.com>]

Don't know about the oil cooler, but if you add too much oil it can get
whipped up into a foam and then it doesn't lubricate well.  Also a TSB
(not for your car) mentions that "Excess oil drawn into the crankcase
breather could eventually reach and possibly destry the Three-way
catalytic converter."  Sounds expensive!
