Ok so my engine has been making a ticking noise. I have changed the oil to a thicker one. 10w 40. Now my mechanic said to add 4 quarts of oil plus 1 quart of Lucas oil treatment. Now that's 5 quarts total. I just read online that the full oil level for the vg33e is 3 1/2 quarts. Am I overfilling my engine?

yes that would be overfilling. Capacity is 3.5 quarts and that's with a new filter.

You could make the rear main seal fail with 5 Qts

Caveat...he probably assumed your motor is like most older V6's and takes 5 qts...some take 3.5, some take 4, 4.25, 4.5, 7, I've even seen 8qts in a German made car
