Q
can you check oil level when engine is hot

Yes, you can check the oil level when the engine is hot, but it's advisable to wait a few minutes after turning off the engine. This allows the oil to settle back into the sump, providing a more accurate measure. However, for safety and the most precise reading, checking the oil when the engine is cold and has been off for a while is generally recommended. Cold conditions ensure all the oil has drained back into the sump. Remember, when checking the oil level, whether the engine is hot or cold, it’s important to park the vehicle on level ground to get an accurate reading. Always exercise caution when handling the dipstick to avoid burns in a hot engine environment. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines as outlined in your vehicle's owner manual for the best practices specific to your vehicle.
