Can I use this hole for filling oil?

[Grit dog]

Must be the same valve covers they bought for my 77 when the engine was rebuilt. It doesn’t have an 710 cap. Or an oil cap lol.
I didn’t even notice it when I bought the truck and recently changed the oil for the first time and was like ???
Yes it’ll pour in thru a breather hole.

I only mentioned the slow fill because I didn't want to tell him "yeah, it'll be fine" and then he had a slow fill, lol. It's not very often it happens, but it can happen, so I mentioned it.

Hey whatever works! A beater engine is a beater engine lol. Not knockin ya, I had a daily that I added oil when it started clattering, because the engine vibrations broke the dipstick tube off in the block and I was NOT gonna do that job lol

It's ok bro! Lol.

Looks like our PO drilled a couple holes in the breather side baffle. I do know breather filter was pretty dirty/oily.
I don't have a pic of baffle side.

Heah Bro .... What that new fangled magic stuff called,,, that says you never have to change oil ever, ever, ever ???
royal purple wizard oil ??

Thanks guys! I guess I’ll just have to wait a minute or two longer when filling up with oil. Good thing it only gets changed every 10,000 miles anyway….

You are NEVER supposed to go 10,000 miles between oil changes, unless you really like frequently rebuilding your engine.

Once a year for me. Certainly not hitting 5,000 in a year haha.

That’s what new car manufacturers claim on their cars. I was using it as a joke because it’s SO unreal. Rebuilding engines is something I enjoy though! Still would never let any engine get past 3,000 without an oil change just to have an excuse to rebuild it.

How slow was it? It’s not a problem for me to wait a minute or two more when filling oil but just wondering.
