No. Plus if you overfilled the engine sensor would tell you.

Depends how long you drain it man. Mine took 9.3 liters to read full, but tech left it draining (both sumps) while at lunch. And sensor is consistent (didn't say 'accurate' since it's graduated in 1/4-lt increments) once engine/oil is at full operating temperature, and done correctly (idling on a flat surface, etc). Take care.
