Yes, you can add oil to an engine when it's hot, but it's advisable to exercise caution. Hot oil or engine components can cause burns. Ideally, wait for the engine to cool down slightly but remain warm, ensuring the oil flows smoothly and can be accurately measured. Hot engines expand, potentially affecting oil level readings, so adding oil when the engine is excessively hot might lead to overfilling, which can harm the engine. Always ensure the vehicle is on level ground for accurate measurement and add oil slowly, checking the level with the dipstick as you go to avoid overfilling. Also, use this opportunity to check for any leaks or unusual engine behavior that might indicate bigger issues.
When water mixes with oil in an engine, it can cause severe damage. The oil is designed to lubricate the engine parts and keep them cool. But if water gets mixed with the oil, it can lead to the formation of a milky white substance that prevents the oil from lubricating properly.
This can lead to increased friction between the engine parts, causing them to wear out faster. Furthermore, if the situation is not rectified quickly, the water can cause the oil to separate and create pockets of steam that can lead to overheating and engine failure.
Water in the engine oil can also lead to corrosion of engine parts as water has a higher capacity to hold in contaminants, leading to rusting.
Additionally, water in motor oil can lower the oil’s boiling point. This causes the oil to vaporize at lower temperatures which can lead to increased oil consumption.
Finding the cubic centimeters (cc) of an engine involves calculating its displacement, reflecting the cylinder volume where fuel and air are burned. This is crucial for understanding engine size and performance. To calculate manually, use the formula: CC = (π/4) × Bore² × Stroke × Number of Cylinders. "Bore" is the cylinder's diameter, "Stroke" is the distance the piston travels, and π (pi) is approximately 3.1416. Alternatively, this information is often found in the vehicle’s manual or on the manufacturer’s website. For modern vehicles, a quick online search with the make, model, and year can efficiently yield the engine's CC. It’s a fundamental measure for enthusiasts comparing vehicle power or when dealing with regulations related to engine size.
