Where to put the oil in a 1982 ford econoline E150 van?

The oil fill location on a 1982 Ford Econoline E150 van is typically on top of the engine, near the back (firewall side). Look for a cap that either says "Oil" or has an oil can symbol on it. It's often yellow or black. It might be slightly recessed into the valve cover.

However, a visual inspection is absolutely crucial. The exact location can vary slightly depending on the engine type (e.g., a 300 inline-six will have a different location compared to a V8). Locate the engine and search the top carefully for the oil fill cap.

If you're unsure, consulting a repair manual specific to your van's engine is the safest bet. You can also find diagrams online by searching for "[your engine type] oil fill location" (e.g., "Ford 302 V8 oil fill location"). A picture is worth a thousand words in this situation.
