[C320-list] Perkins motor oil filler

[David Veeneman]

I’m getting ready to change my own oil for the first time on Adelante, which has a Perkins Perama M30 engine. I’m fine with pumping out the old oil and replacing the filter, but I want to get confirmation on something before I proceed.

When I’m looking at the engine from the saloon side, there are two caps on top of the engine:

— a black plastic cap on the left (which looks to me like the motor oil fill cap; and
— a metal cap on the right, which looks like the coolant cap for the heat exchanger.

Have I got that right? I’m getting paranoid about pouring motor oil down the wrong spout. Thanks for your help!
