I think it is now because of cats. If you overfill the excess oil is blown out via the relief valve and vents via the exhaust where it gets into the cat and basically knackers it. My TDI Fabia has stickers all over the place warning about this as did my petrol FIAT Bravo and Ford Mondeo.

I hate cats. And I hate catalytic converters.
