long story short i got a international 4300 dt466 automatic and im not familiar with this engine... where is the coolant reservoir so i can add more coolant? and im looking all over the place and cannot find out where to add the oil because the engine is running extremely low.

I hate to say this but a coolant reservoir *should* be quite obvious regardless of the engine or transmission type. Hint.. They generally have hoses which lead to your radiator and often are just above it.

Kudos, you found the oil dipstick.. You should probably add the oil to the fill tube with a cap marked "OIL".

Maybe you should ask Roehl or any of their shop personnel to show you a proper pretrip?

So you see the big plastic thing with coolant in it? Thats your coolant reservoir. Sorry but i have no idea what "looks like this" is suoposed to mean.. Seriously.. Looks like what?

While you ask maintence to show you all about your truck.. Be sure to know where your tank drains are.. Winter is coming.

BMI:

Body mass index (BMI)

BMI is a formula that uses weight and height to estimate body fat. For most people, BMI provides a reasonable estimate of body fat. The BMI's biggest weakness is that it doesn't consider individual factors such as bone or muscle mass. BMI may:

  • Underestimate body fat for older adults or other people with low muscle mass
  • Overestimate body fat for people who are very muscular and physically fit

It's quite common, especially for men, to fall into the "overweight" category if you happen to be stronger than average. If you're pretty strong but in good shape then pay no attention.

Ok that plastic tank just behind your radiator is your coolant. I dont see a seperate oil fill tube but that oil dipstick tube looks quite large.. If there isnt a marked fill tube on the other side, im thinking it goes in where the oil dipstick is? My codriver is sleeping otherwise id ask him.

Check in the glove compartment. For the owner's manual. Probably all kinds of neat info in there.

Im not sure what company you are working for, but quite curious. Anywho, i would absolutely ask a company mechanic to go over the truck with you.. Should have been done when you were issued the truck. If the manual for the truck is missing you may be able to find a free online version.
