Where do I add oil on my DD 6v92 engine?

Where do I add oil on my DD 6v92 engine? I looked in all of the manuals, and found lots of nice pictures of the dipstick, but don't see where to actually add the oil. Looking at the engine from the rear of the coach, there is something that looks like it might be a fill tube pretty much dead center. There is also something that might be a fill point on the valve cover on the curb side. That would mean adding the oil from inside the coach.

I have a 1991 model with a rear radiator. Your 1995 model should have a side radiator though. My filler tube is to the far right at the top when I open the back door. I loosen the hose clamp with a nutdriver and slide the tube out far enough so I can get the bottle of oil into it, and turn the elbow straight up. After adding a gallon of oil I reverse the procedure and retighten the hose clamp... Hope this helps.

I just noticed you actually have a 1993 model, which should also have the side radiator... Sorry for the confusion.

David, it is the approx. 1" tube in the middle of the engine with the screw down compression cap. I suppose you could use the cap on the valve cover if you wanted to take oil into your bedroom.

I have changed my oil myself twice. The draining is pretty easy but disposal of the used oil is a pain. I had to refill the gallon jugs. That was incredibly messy. Won't do it again.
