Overful oil can get slapped by the crankshaft which will aerate it, again, effecting lubrication. If the oil is diluted, and left unchecked the engine may start to run on it's oil and rev itself to destruction.

Just had the 150,000km service done last Monday, (I did the oil and minor things) and the mechanic did new timing belt, water pump, replace tappets (which he said were in good condition anyway) and calve clearance check along with the injector scan. He also made a comment in asking what oil did I use and did I change it every 5000km as it was so clean (I'm assuming he meant the intake or something?) I just the sump pickup at oil change as well and it was clean.
Thanks for the ideas so far, I well get onto it.
