Topping the oil up hot or running will not cause oil to burn and stick to your camshaft  :laugh:

I did not know that lol so I go from one extreme to another when a got the car sum tit had over filed it with oil as that were told by an old spanner monkey that it did not matter how much oil is in a car.

In the stone age it might not of don't but in 2012 6.5 litres  of oil is WAY to much what a tit
