Oil Change problem.

Hi guys,

extremely novice question here, but I bought an 84 ford bronco II about a month ago, and when I went to change the oil today, I couldn't find where to put the new oil in. There is no obvious oil cover and I surely don't want to guess. Anyone know where it is? I attached some pics to see if anyone could just point it out to me. I've never had this problem with any other truck...

Thanks!

I would guess the orange thing with the hose going to the air filter that is between the camera and dip stick in the second picture.

The crankcase breather is also the oil fill.

The yellow cap on the driver's side cover. The other two pics show what is left of the heat riser that would have connected to the factory air filter housing

Wow, that motor is small. Almost lift that out by hand, unlike my obese 351w...

x2 on the orange oil breather cap. With that removed, you pour your oil directly into the engine.
