Tried to add engine oil to our diesel D-15 with the motor running. Blew oil back at me, glad I was wearing glasses. Is this normal, or do I have a problem? Any ideas welcome.

Normally you check oil level with the engine stopped- it avoids the problem you encountered. Same as checking oil in an automobile engine. In some engines, like a Gleaner combine or a Cat loader, the dipstick indicates proper engine oil level, running, and cold. If it does not indicate which, you check it with the engine off.

I learned on a lawn mower about 40 years ago, what a mess!

This is a situation when you say to yourself, "Self, never add engine oil to an engine that's running. Air is pulled in and out of the crankcase as the pistons move up and down." Theoretically, there should be no air movement because one piston moves down as another moves up. But, you still get the oil blown back at you if you try to add while running.

I might be dumb, but I ain't ignorant. Checked the oil level with tractor engine off. Keep it in the back, no oil back there. Drove around the front and tried to add oil. I've added oil to many a running motor, never had this happen. It'll never happen to me again. Thanks for the feed back.

If it makes you feel any better, I did the same thing. Once.
