Last time there was too much oil in one of my engines, it basically fried the engine. Oil shot past all four cylinder heads (Mustang LT). And it smoked worse than a white smoke grenade. Loss of compression and all. Oil ended up in the exhaust system. The sad thing was that it was synthetic oil that I paid someone else (King Lube) to change. But as the change was done in Georgia and it blew up in Pennsylvania, where I just moved. It wouldn't have been cost effective to have to sue them in Georgia with a Georgian Attorney. So my car/engine with only 8K miles on it, 1.5K since the oil change needed a new engine. $3K down the toilet.

Or should I say one of the last times. WalMart put too much oil in my replacement engine. So much that it didn't want to start the next morning. Took it back to WalMart, they insisted they put the right amount in, had them physically go over and check it themselves. And they did a second oil change no charge. Only to be rear ended by a Ford F-350 and have the car totalled before I reached 37K miles(less than 29K on the new engine). Got really screwed over by the insurance company and will never live in Louisville, KY, or own another FORD, EVER AGAIN.

Basically if it's smoking as bad as you claim, you might need to replace the engine. And perhaps the exhaust system as well.

If it was tranny fluid it should have been red in color. Oil should be brown, until it's spent at which point it's black. But so is brake fluid. Anyway it should be fairly obvious what's wrong by the smell / symptoms of the car. The main one being the heat gauge. If the engine gets too hot it'll weld itself to itself. When my oil problem happened, it just lost compression and stalled. When I started it back up, it smoke like b..... So much for idling to stay warm at 20F while waiting for the apartment office to open.
