Yes, that can happen, although I’ve never witnessed it.

When I pick up my Corolla after an oil change the oil is always well above the “full” mark. Same with every vehicle I’ve ever owned. Midas must have _really_ overfilled the crankcase to cause lasting damage. Now you probably have a bad seal or something similar. Just how long was the excess oil in the engine? Go back to Midas and see if you can work out something with the shop’s manager.
