Unhappy ticking car

I am not a car person and I was wondering why would my car tick if there is to much oil in it. I know it ticks when there is not enough oil also the oil light wont go off is it becouse there is to much oil

Re: ticking car

ticking is the increased valve lash caused by low oil pressure. The reason you are getting it when overfilled is because the crank is splashing the oil and foaming it up, causing low oil pressure, get the extra oil out of there before you blow something up.
