If you use more water than coolant, then your car isn't protected against freezing conditions to as low of a temperature as the container may indicate. Also there is a possibility of rusting if you use only water (I've been told).

It will not damage your engine, but it will overflow when your engine heats up. Eventually enough will flow out that it will be down to a level it will not overflow any more.

Can having too much antifreeze in your car cause it to overheat?

No, if anything it would get cooler from having too much. -You have a different problem, possibly a coolant leak.

Your 1996 Nissan maxima is overheating occasionally what should you do?

Overheating is due to, well, the coolant in the cooling system getting too hot. In a normally operating engine, this should never be a problem. First, check that the coolant level is correct. If it is correct, I would suspect a problem with the thermostat. When the engine is cold, the thermostat closes off coolant flow through the engine until the coolant reaches a pre-determined temperature. When that temperature is reached, the thermostat opens to allow the coolant to circulate at that exact temperature. Thermostats are known for failing and either not opening or not opening enough at that pre-determined temperature. This causes coolant to get trapped too long in the engine coolant chambers, heating it beyond limits, causing the engine temperature to increase and possibly overheat. If my Maxima was overheating, I would check the coolant levels and then possibly replace the thermostat. It usually is no more complicated than that.


Oil that smell like fuel can be caused by?

Too much fuel being put in the engine and it gets by the rings and if it has a mechanical pump attached to the motor, it can be leaking inside and running into the crankcase. Too much and the oil will be so thin that it no longer lubricates and you loose a bearing.
