TOO MUCH OIL(mixed with oil stabilizer)...can it kill KA's

[jrsink]

yeaterday i was driving my vert in brandonit began to overheat at a light

i already had new water pump, timing belt, and head gasket donecoolant level was perfect, oil level was just under full mark on the dipstikSOi added a full container of oil stabilizer (about a half quart) to the motor.

about an hour later i started hearing some tapping noises like the valves/valve tap/lack of oil

10 minutes later...i was just trying to get it home, the tapping had turning to full rattling and it was begining to lack seroius power and soon enouhh i was on the side of the road...

WTFi still need to check the gear oil level since the tow truck guy just dropped it off but i sounds like a bottom emd broken rod or something.but if a rod broke wouldnt it sound much different running on only 3 cylinders, bc it didnt sound differnet, just had no power to drive away. rpm would only get up to about 2500 or 3000 before almost dying...

im no expert but ive run my engine with more oil than necessary and no problems. I've also heard that oil additives dont really do much if anything. Maybe someone can elaborate on this.

If you rip the label on those oil stabilizers you can see snake oil spelled backwards on the bottle.

This is basically what happens when you continue to drive a car which is overheating and making odd noises.

You'll get a chance to figure out exactly what happened when you go out and look at it, but to answer your question - this was not likely caused by excess oil.
