Oil top up

Also If a bit unsure of these type of procedures, be careful not to overfill !
Add a bit then check, give a good few minutes for all to settle down, you will get different readings on the stick
hot and cold .
Hope you get something useful from all our comments,

What Chris said. It can take 5 mins or more for the stick measurement to be correct after a top up.

I'm a little concerned that you appear to have the radiator cap of in the picture, don't put the oil in there whatever you do!

Either breather will do, the oil will drain down into the sump from either side.

Thanks Jim, I thought that was the case but didn't trust myself enough to believe it!

Hi. I'm relatively new to ownership and have minimal mechanical knowledge!

This is probably a very stupid question but where do I too engine oil up? I'd thought the cap (breather?) by the dipstick but am now worrying that there's one in the opposite side too.

Any idiot-proof advice very welcome!
