Your post doesnt make sense. It doesnt ask any kind of question or state any specific problem. If you want help, you have to explain yourself better. "I put oil in it and now it shakes hard"

putting oil in your car doesnt make it shake hard. Could be bad mounts, could be a misfire, could be a lot of things.

Sorry I well.

To give you a full story of information.

I went to 7-11 cause I was low on motor oil. So I added a little bit more motor oil . After that I started the car before I left the gas station, at that time the car started to give a loud vibrating response. which was kinda weird cause the car was working fine before I enter the parking lot. So I drove the car back home and that's when I started to notice that the vibration would go away when I accelerated, but when I would take my foot off the gas the vibration would start up again. I check everything in the motor everything look fine except my motor look kinda crooked. So it got me thinking it might be bad worn out motor mounts. I could I be wrong?

yea thanks and one more question. When i shifting in to gear. I get this thud sound <Like when someone pounds there fist in to the wall>. do you know what maybe the cause of that? the tranny i got in the ef is a 2000 civic si tranny with a SOHC ZC 1.6 Motor. The clutch grabs pretty hard when i push the car, during those times mostly like your right about the motor mounts cause i am looking at them at this very moment

Either the mounts are bad or they have unbolted themselves. My rear mount likes to slowly unscrew itself on occasion. it results in "clunky" feelings when i shift.
