Here is a link to a pic of the HPOP fill plug. Use the same oil your using in the oil pan. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo...99659029HwXSzm

There are two holes in the top of the HPOP you can check the oil level through either hole, one is a pressure sensor, the other is a plug. The HPOP reservoir is fed by the engine oil pump , so use whatever motor oil you are using. Most of the time if your truck is not starting good, it does not stem from HPOP problems, but yes it can cause a hard start situation. Off road diesel will run better in our trucks then ULSD that you get from the fuel station, but IMHO it is not worth the risk, and I am nearly sure I will never get checked.

There is no mark. Just fill to about a 1/4" from the top.

if your resevoir is going dry you have a bigger problem than just filling it up
