Too much oil?

Back in my no-knowledge days some incompetent tech put my 350Z's dipstick in the wrong hole. Left Chicago to drive the Natchez Trace and saw 0-5 PSI on the gauge.

Back in my no-knowledge days some incompetent tech put my 350Z's dipstick in the wrong hole. Left Chicago to drive the Natchez Trace and saw 0-5 PSI on the gauge. Kept pouring oil into the engine until I realized the dipstick issue. Put around 6 extra quarts of oil into the pan. Drove the Trace from Nashville to Natchez with smoke billowing out of the Z's hood whenever I stopped.
