Hello JESTER620,

If you locate your A/C Compressor it will be right behind it on the side of the motor. There is an access panel under the radiator held on by 2 nuts. If you remove this access panel and look up at the side of the motor, you will be able to see it between the A/C Compressor and Starter.

I have added a couple pics for your reference.

Hello JESTER620,

No problem. Happy to help. In case you need it, fluid capacity for the oil is 4.5 quarts 5w30.

Thank you,
Brendon
