AJP engine number dipstick and filler
Discussion
Hi all...
Stupid questions that I need answers to are:
Where is the oil filler cap and dip stick located on Tuscan challenge cars? I have spent 15 mins looking blankly at the engine and cant see either. I haven't removed the induction bits and pieces so i am assuming they might be hiding under there. Photo's please?
Also, any ideas where the engine number may be hiding too?
Thanks all in advance.

The oil filler on a Tuscan Challenge is on the passengers side bulk head in the engine bay, on top of the dry sump it should be filled to about 2" above the top baffle plate - there is no dip stick (apart from some Challenge cars that had them fitted in the drivers seat
)
There is an engine number which i think is located on the block on the drivers side

You won't see them because they aren't there.
It is a dry sump system. Oil top ups or changes are done through the top of the dry sump oil tank, which normally sticks out of the top of the passenger bay footwell under the bonnet. Yours is a 2 seater so the factory may have relocated the tank, but it is probably there.
If you look down through the filler neck there is a baffle plate - you use that to judget the oil level. Correct oil level is 1" above the baffle plate.
To drain the oil there is a plug on the bottom of the tank that sticks out below the car. You should also change the filter which is on the integral oil pump, part of the block on the passenger side, with a very short length of braided hose on it
