I am trying to change the oil on my sk for the first time. The only info i can get off the motor is that it is a chrysler and these numbers. E-8188-m 2659284 The motor is older his is a pic of it. Question is where do i add the new oil after drianing the old and replacing the oil filter? Can't seem to locate the cap. If any one has any info please feel free? Thanks for your time.

Tip - Be sure to use an oil with adequate ZDDP. Valvoline VR1 20W-50 is commonly used. Another tip - don't use fram oil filter. Motorcraft, Wix, NAPA are good choices. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

If it is similar to my chrysler, the oil drain is located on the upper end of the oil pan, so in order to drain all of the oil, you have to get the stern of the boat way up somehow. ------------- 2000 Air/Sport 1978 T16 |
