Good afternoon I have a question about where to pour the new oil into a WD-45, I see a cap on the valve cover that says oil on it do I remove the hood and pour it in there, or there is also a cap next to the distributor that looks like it may be for adding oil.

Thanks,

Aaron

either will work. Never had my hood off, so obviously have always used the one by the distridutor.

While your at it, clean the breather cap on your valve cover with some gasoline or thinner and then oil the wire mesh again. Keeps dirt out of the engine. Same with the cap next to the distributor if that one is the breather style too. Don't forget the air cleaner oil.

Lonn has it right.....after all, it is called a "breather cap".

It is more often overlooked on the early A-Cs because its up under the hood.

But...it should be cleaned and reoiled regularly.
