valve cover question: oil cap
Doing an oil change tomorrow on my new to me ZJ. Can anyone tell why there are oil filler ports/caps on BOTH valve covers? Never seen this before. Figure I'd just split the diff. 2.5 qts. in one side and 2.5 in other.

That does not sound like stock.
I have only seen the 318/360 blocks with the oil cap on the passenger (NA passenger) side of the block. Sounds like someone replaces the driver side valve cover with a passenger side  Either way, you don't have to pour half and half, just pour all down the passenger side, it will end up in the crankcase either way.

EMT is right, it all winds up in the same place... no splitting needed.

Two oil caps was a highly sought after factory option! you sir have a rare vehicle!
but seriously, in the earl years of the magnum V8, they used that set up. yep its funny looking. I think they did it to confuse the ill informed. two caps.
