Welcome from Spartan Country Michigan!!
A couple of suggestions..... get the factory service manual and the parts manual. Both have lots of info that if you check first, you may avoid a foolish question later. Next I recommend you do some searching and reading here.... you will find your question/topic has many many threads on it, and that you will take some abuse from some when it comes to oil, fluids, and where to put your gas cap when refueling. You should also read here for a bit as you will note there are some who will give you some crap....most all is in good humor. Unless you are trolling....then you're on your own.
