Yes, you can add engine oil to a hot engine, but it’s generally recommended to wait until the engine cools down slightly. Adding oil to a hot engine is safe, as long as you do it carefully to avoid burns or spillage. Hot oil expands and might be more viscous, making it harder to measure accurately. To ensure accurate oil level readings and avoid potential engine damage, it’s best to let the engine cool down for at least 15-30 minutes before adding oil.This practice helps in achieving a more accurate level check and ensures that you add the right amount of oil to maintain optimal engine performance.
