Message:
This is going to be the studipest question ever posted, but how do you add oil to the engine of my 1998 3.9 Ddakota. When I took off the oil cap, and started to pour in the oil it would not go in the hole, there some metal that will not allow the oil to go down to the engine.

Thanks folks,
Bonehead

pour the oil in slowly.. that's a baffle screen used to help deflect oil coming off the rocker arms.
