oh yeah, if it was run for any amount of time that full, be ready to have found about 5 oil leaks when you get it running. Too much oil pressure can ruin seals and o-rings fast.

I did that to my Celica in college, and it created a huge plume of smoke coming from under the hood. Busted the head gasket, and it consumed more oil after that. Still ran fine, though, and never got it repaired (I was a poor, dumbass college student).

It never quit...I abused that car so much, but just couldn't kill it! It burned/leaked more oil after that, but still ran fine, other than when the battery died. I couldn't afford one till my next payday, so for about a week I'd park headed downhill, let it roll, then jumpstart it.

reminds me of in high school when my friends sister tried to make sure she had enough oil. She did not know what a dipstick was (we told her she could see one in the mirror) and she kept pouring in quarts of oil until she could see it at the top of the crank case.
