Scotty I have too much excess oil in my 21 Tacoma V6, mechanic drained it and saw it was 10 quarts over. I didn’t drive for very long after the previous change maybe 20 miles.I noticed it when it started shaking. it has 15k miles on it currently. What are the chances the engine may be destroyed?
it was 10 quarts over
Who are the clowns who serviced it? Go and talk to them.
Did they just fill it under the entire engine block was full?
The oil capacity of the Tacoma is at most under 7 quarts.
What are the chances the engine may be destroyed?
There's a chance.
saw it was 10 quarts over.
Oh wow! Given this I'm assuming it was probably a chain store or dealership and they closed their eyes and just poured whatever oil they had left there.
What are the chances the engine may be destroyed?
If you have a trusted independent mechanic have them check the car for you. Keep all paperwork and documentation and get ready to fight for it if the engine is ruined.
