Do you leave engine on when adding oil?

[Vandelay]

It'll splash out the top of the engine if you leave it on.


It would be extremely painful...for you.

yes you're suppose to leave the engine when adding oil. Make sure you do half/half water and oil so that way the engine can regulate the oil while its running.

Shyt I remember when I was 20 my cutlass was running hot, nobody told me the correct way to add water to my radiator. I ended up burning off half my face. But my moma gave me some type of silver burn cream fixed me back like new.

not necessarily on. it's just easier if the car is warm. but it's may, so...

DO NOT run your car without oil

Turn the car off... let it cool down... jack it up and change the oil + filter

Odds are if you don't know whether to leave the car on or off... you should leave it to the pros

All jokes aside; there's almost (to my knowledge) nothing you're supposed to fix/fill, in a car, while it's on.

Now, you need to let ur car run to check the oil levels, but, you only check the level while it's on.

You forgot to mention to add a 2:1 water mix to the oil.
