Bulk Oil Fill

[Pete Masterson]

The bulk oil filler survived onto the Series 60 ... and it's a great
convenience. My coach doesn't use much oil, so I don't often need to
add any (perhaps reflected in the 3 gal capacity of the bulk tank in
my coach). However, I still like to remain presentable -- and
besides, with the Series 60 in a pusher location, it's near-
impossible to get to the top of the engine where you'd normally put
oil in anyway -- at least not without becoming completely covered in
the dirt that inhabits the engine compartment.
