It is generally not advised to add coolant to a hot engine. especially if it is already overheated. Doing so can result in drastic temperature changes. leading to thermal shock and potential damage to the engine block. This also increases the risk of coolant boiling when in contact with hot engine components. If hot coolant or steam touches your skin. you may sustain burns. To avoid this. it is best to wait for the engine to cool before opening the radiator cap. Once cooled. slowly add the appropriate type of coolant to reach the correct level. Refer to your vehicle's manual or consult a professional mechanic for specific recommendations based on your make and model. By taking these precautions. you can prioritize the safety and well-being of your engine and prevent accidents or costly repairs.
