Watched a guy at the Shell on Route 9 top off his oil with the engine running
I was filling up last Friday and the guy next to me popped his hood, pulled the oil cap, and started pouring while the motor was still going. I said something because it made me nervous, and he shrugged and said he always does it that way. Thing is, the cap was right over the exhaust manifold, so one splash and he's got smoke and possibly a fire. You check oil with the engine off and cool, on level ground, dipstick wiped and reinserted, then add a little at a time. Am I wrong for saying something, or does everyone just top off hot like this?

Did he even check the dipstick first or just dump it in blind? Honestly pouring over a hot manifold with the motor running sounds like a good way to end up on fire.
