Yes, you can add coolant to a warm engine, but it's essential to do so cautiously to avoid burns from hot surfaces or steam. The best practice is to wait until the engine is cool to prevent any risk of the coolant boiling upon contact with the hot engine parts or causing a thermal shock, which could crack the engine block or cause other damage. If adding coolant to a warm engine is necessary, ensure the vehicle has been off for several minutes, open the radiator cap slowly with a rag to protect your hand, and be prepared for any steam or hot fluid that may escape. Always use the correct type of coolant for your vehicle, as specified in the user manual. Dilute concentrated coolant with water as directed, typically at a 50/50 ratio, unless it's pre-mixed. Regularly check coolant levels and the cooling system for leaks or issues, especially before long journeys.
