Checking your oil doesn’t really have to do with the engine’s temperature, though the recommendation favors a cold engine. Here’s why.
A running vehicle circulates oil across the engine for flawless performance, and letting it cool down, pours it all into the pan, offering accurate readings.
Checking the oil in a hot engine will burn your hands and not provide accurate readings, which won't even leave you in a mood to recheck the oil.

If you want to check the oil after you have just parked your car, do it after 10 to 15 minutes of rest, watch out for your hands and add the oil according to the readings.
