Im not to sure but it isnt very good. If the oil splashes and hits your crank, it will wreck your crank bearings or something along those lines. But ive been told not to overfill.
Up to 5 mm above maximum is fine. Worst I've had was 10mm above max in the K-series, and it was still not burning/foaming nor did I experience loss of power.

There is a splash shield between the crank and the oil in the sump.
I had 8 Litres in my EG Civic once, drove home blowing white smoke and the car performed really bad.
Cleaned the spark plugs and drained the excess oil, good as new
LOL my friend did the same with his dc2, he kept topping it up then one day it kept blowing heaps of white smoke. Then when he did a service it had like almost a bucket full of oil (7Lish).
Had a guy here who was at the Army post tell me a good one. He was working at the motor pool and had a guy working with him. He had his minion go out and top off all the tanks oil so they were ready for that weeks exercises. Well he toped off all the tanks and it took all day. My friend was like, "Why'd it take so long?" The other guy replied, "I had to go load up with new oil barrels." Well when they checked the "dip sticks" they noticed something... he FILLED the motors and was about to over flow out of the filler neck. He put about 1.5 drums in each motor. Moral of the story is, going over a little is ok, but if you over fill you could have a long week ahead of you draining it. He should of used some comon sense.
8 litres....... OMG.... that is totally bad and on the level on the dipstick should be at half the length! My 1cm over the max was only 100-200 ml extra.
