   i hope you dont mean fill up the coolant bottle with oil
   
   coolant cap is by the radiator (front of the car near the drivers side headlight) dont open it when its hot, fill it with whatever colour coolant is already in there + water, so blue or red (dont mix different coolants), mixture should be 50/50 with coolant/water
   the max line is on a metal plate in front of the bottle. dont overfill it
   
   to check the oil, pull the dipstick out, wipe it, put it back in all the way and pull it out again to see the level. fill up with the correct type of oil in the cap that says oil on the top of the engine itself. dont overfill it!
   
   if you dont understand any of this, get someone else to do it (dont touch your cat either if you get tempted again )
