Will too much oil in your car cause it to throw a rod?

Yes, too much oil can contribute to throwing a rod, but it’s usually indirect rather than immediate. When the oil level is too high, the crankshaft can whip the oil into foam (called aeration). Foamy oil doesn’t lubricate properly, which can lead to low oil pressure and bearing damage over time—and that’s what can eventually cause a rod failure. So it won’t happen instantly, but running overfilled oil for long periods can definitely lead to serious engine damage.
