It would take a crap load of oil to hydro-lock an engine from the bottom of the pistons! When one comes down some are going up, hydro happens when one or more cylinders fills with a liquid on the compression stroke. Over filling the oil pan might reduce mpg's and power from the oil splash, but seriously you will not lock up an engine from a lil overfill.
