Yes, you can add oil to your engine while it is hot, but it is generally advisable to wait until the engine has cooled down somewhat. This is mainly for safety reasons; hot engine parts can cause burns, and oil might flow more rapidly than expected due to decreased viscosity, potentially leading to overfilling. However, adding oil to a warm engine can have benefits, such as allowing the oil to flow more easily and mix more thoroughly with the existing oil. If you need to add oil when the engine is hot, ensure you do so cautiously, avoid touching hot parts, and check the oil level accurately to prevent overfilling. Always use the correct type and grade of oil recommended by your vehicle's manufacturer.

Although refueling the engine is possible when the engine is hot. it is safer to do so when the engine is cold because the oil expands when heated. so the dipstick reading may not be accurate when the engine is hot. If you come in contact with a hot part of the engine. you could also get burned.
