can i add oil when engine is hot

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.
