So yes the fto needs an oil fill up but i'm not sure where you put the oil in and if you can just fill it up. Does the filter and all that jazz need changing or can it be straight filled.
I know there is a big engine oil cap there but I don't know if that's the oil reservoir or something else and i don't want to be putting oil in places i'm not sure of
Also which oil is best to use?
It's not being driven at the moment bc the oil is very low so i'm stuck driving a swift around for the moment. A swift answer i need pleeeeaaase

Re: Low on oil
So yeah I ran into a similar dilemma earlier. The oil goes straight into the engine and it'll settle at the bottom of the sump. Ideally you'll want to do a full oil change and swapping the filter out (don't mix two types of oil). I'm running 10W - 40 in mine at the moment, but the owner's manual mentions 10W - 30 for the GPX. Your best bet is to get a mechanic to change everything for you, and get all the information you can on the products he uses, so you can change it all yourself in future.
Edit: Daniel says to use 10W - 40, I'd trust his judgement over mine. I'm running 10W - 40 and it's running beautifully so yeah.
