Call paxton for the oil 888-9-PAXTON

I fill through whichever plug has the dipstick attached to it.

I believe the dip stick is the lower of the 2. It shouldn't matter which you fill with but I always like to double check the level with the stick so I use that one.

I believe the multitude of fill holes are because the headunit is built to be clocked in several different directions depending on what car it's on.

My headunit actually didn't come with a dipstick on either of the upper fill plugs. I just drain the old oil into an empty paxton bottle to verify it's one whole bottle that comes out and one whole bottle that goes in.
