What weight oil do I put in a 460 Ford Engine? Where do I add the oil?

THere is a removable cap where I can add it on the top right part of the engine (if I am looking at it from the front of the car). There are two large chrome pieces (one on either side of the air filter) do I add it here?What weight oil do I put in a 460 Ford Engine? Where do I add the oil?
To add the oil to your engine you should use the removable cap on the top right part of the engine. This is where you add the oil at all times. As to the two large chrome pieces on either side of the air filter do not add the oil here. As to the weight of oil you should use depends upon the condition of your engine and the outside temperatures. If you are going to be driving in colder weather then a lighter weight oil would be the best. Or if you are going to be driving in warmer weather you can go with a heavier weight oil. Actually every engine is different. And also depending upon if the engine has high miles or not. The best thing for you to do would be to consult your owner's manual. This will give you a good idea as to what to use concering what weight of oil you should use. As far as it being a 460... I have one myself... It is a 1978 Ford F-250 4x4. Granted it isn't the easiest on gas but if I drive mine normally it gets 20-25 miles per gallon. Of coarse this varies at times naturally. Hope this helps you some.What weight oil do I put in a 460 Ford Engine? Where do I add the oil?
those ';things'; are valve covers..the oil goes in there...but others are correct...obviously you know nothing...go to advance,auto zone or o'reillys...ask guy/gal.to help you check ALL fluids....really they are happy to get outside...check...engine oil...transmission fluid...power steering fluid...coolant level and concentration and brake fluid
DONT TOUCH A THING!!!!


I am not insulting you,


If you don't know even this little about it, don't touch it. Bring it and pay someone to do it for you!


It will be cheaper than replacing your car when you put oil in the wrong spot.
I agree with jimmy above. My friend's girl friend added the wrong oil to the car and caused more trouble then it did good.





At least ask (and see) where the oil goes (and what oil). And then next time copy his action.








Good Luck...
Should be a cap in the valve cover , and I would use a 10W 40 multi viscosity oil. Good luck with keeping gas in it :))
