When this happens, you can actually see small bubbles on the dipstick.
It is a progressive issue, meaning that it gets worse as time goes on and can severely damage the engine if not corrected.
That's weird. I have overfilled mine by just a tad and I didn't have the issue that you said you had. I've seen cars overfilled by anywhere from 1 to 6 quarts here at work and they all ran rough. Just doesn't seem that overfilling it just a tad can cause the issue that you had seeing how oil will be in the oil galleries in the block, heads, oil returns and pan when the vehicle is running. Just saying.

Was your oil level at the H mark when cold?
