I will look...can you send a picture? Is this dipstick an accurate way to check oil level? Can I top it off through that?Originally Posted by AllDodge
If that is an original 1988 Bravo it will have a dipstick in the top cover. In 1989 the lube bottle was introduced

Look at the top cap for the dipstick (item 11). If its not there it may have been replaced

Do yourself a favor and buy or make a pressurized oil dispenser to fill drive from bottom. A lot of us use a plastic bug sprayer modified to connect to drive. Others have purchased dispensers especially for this purpose. You'll never have to worry abt introducing air again plus it's much easier, faster and cleaner.
