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.

check this site for mercruiser recommendations:

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

I got some Quaker State 15W-40 just to get me threw the next couple outings.. When I get it winterized I will have them put in Merc Oil.

I checked both sides... but the Gil headers leave no room between the headers and valve covers on either side... This engine has a Holley Electric fuel pump (its carbuerated) and I followed the lines from the pump to the carb and I didnt see it ...

Any other ideas on a way to find this damn dipstick? Thanks

W.S. get a mirror and look down below the Gill exhaust ck.both sides for a tube runnin out of the oil pans that should end with the dip stick on top. also you usually put the oil into the engine thru the valve covers, but you are just kidding. :circle:

ps post some more pics . On the pic u posted on the starboard side of the engine u have a breather remove it and u can fill the engine with oil there BUT do not over fill it YOU must find the oil guage other wise known as the oil dip stick :eek:

There was a screw cap that came out of the hole... Is this where the oil goes? Just use a funnel and start pouring right? then wait a few minutes and check on dipstick. then keep going till its in correct range correct

BTW I found the dipstick... Under the port side header pointed towards Bow of boat...

Come on guys... I know this is an EASY question... Someone help I am trying to get out to the lake today.

If that's the Valve cover, that's where the oil goes.

Yes

w.s. we need more ?'s
