with a green ring around the cap
just make sure you know what kind of fluid goes in there

the big black cap above it, that's your coolant
top left is your windshield washer fluid
the cap with the M logo is your oil cap

Mine only has the oil symbol. Was I screwed out of an M cap or is it an accessory? No biggie; just curious. Thx.

no idea
and too lazy to go outside and check the manual
it should be in the manual towards the end
where it says engine oil type etc

but why not just take it to dealer?
all servicing is included for free

It says on the cap itself what fluid is required.

IIRC it's CHF-11S synthetic PS fluid. It's NOT ATF!
