Q
is it ok to add oil to a hot engine
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Adding oil to a hot engine is generally safe if done carefully. When the engine is hot, the oil flows more freely, which might seem advantageous for quick top-ups. However, extreme caution is needed to avoid burns from hot engine parts. Ideally, wait for the engine to cool down a bit, ensuring the oil level is accurately checked since hot engines can provide misleading readings. Always park on level ground, use gloves if possible, and avoid direct contact with engine components. It's essential to check the oil level regularly and top up as necessary to avoid engine damage. However, doing so when the engine is not excessively hot and with safety precautions in mind is crucial.

You can refuel a hot engine. However. it is best to do so when the engine is slightly warm rather than hot. If the engine is overheated. oil may splash and cause burns.
