Quick help about oil
 

Does anyone have any idea on where the dipstick should be to check oil on a chevy 468? Also where the oil fill should be? Thanks

Ok. Well there is a belt driven pulley that has a metal container with a cap tgat has a very short dip stick on it. Would this be the oil? It has a Carmel colored metal smelling liquid in it. Thanks


It wouldn't be drive fluid would it?

Also what weight oil? 5w-30? It's a 468ci

Here is a pic of what I am talking about the belt driven metal container with the cap with the small dipstick in it is circled in red. PLEASE let me know. Thank You

and No the large Dayco hoses do not go into that thing as it looks it has a smaller tube that looks to run down under the engine...

Does no one know? I am going boating tomm and need to know. Thanks

Thats the power steering pump..

OK Thanks! So do you have any idea on where the Dip stick for the oil is?

on my bbc it is on the other side of the engine(on the opposite side of the p.s.pump) between the water/separator filter for the fuel and the valve cover.

personally I use Mobil v-twin but there are other similar products that may work well IE AMSOIL, Joe Gibbs Racing etc...
