Does this engine have a Briggs and Stratton engine? if so their webpage has owners manuals to download. Normally there will be a dipstick that unscrews it position depends on engine model and make, unlike a car engine you do fill some if not all B&S engines through the dipstick hole. Can you find the serial number of the engine it will read something like 10A900 you just look on the maker’s site for this model?
