I am an engine builder. Who is the idiot who says overfilling oil isn't a problem? Clearly not an engine builder because we all know air in the oil means death to rod bearings, and we even create devices to remove all bubbles from oil to preserve the engines we so carefully build.
Only a moron would tell you overfilling your oil is without severely damaging consequences. Ray Plumb told me many years ago all the factory CBR600s ran 1/2 quart low because it added 5 hp and prevented early failures...sheesh... the totally ignorant things people say on forums...

If you saying overfilling it by 2 plus quarts to where you submerge the crankshaft, yes it will damage your engine. So what I am talking about is an overfill of no more than 1 quart. So what are you saying? How much of an overfill will cause "severely damaging consequences" per your words? Any overfill?

Do you really need to know who it is? I think you are oversimplifying it and really no need to call out another (race car) engine builder an idiot/moron LOL.

I've not had the issue at Cerritos Lexus.. insofar as I know they have 2 techs that specialize in the F cars, at least whenever I go to make an appointment I am given a limited time frame that is dependent on when one of these 2 techs are available.
