Personally, I favor using a funnel with a hose attached and adding oil from the front. It helps to have a second person hold the funnel. If I just need to add a small amount of oil, I use a quart oil bottle with a manual pump attached.

Two more tips for oil and filter change:

I added a Fumoto drain valve to make it neater and cleaner to drain oil. I also cut the top off of a two liter soda bottle and use that to grip the loosened oil filter. The bottle catches the filter oil and filter.

I seriously doubt you add oil through the dash on the 7.3L V8 engine of the 2020+ Vegas/Axis as the oil fill is behind the driver side radiator very front of the engine.

Fumoto drain valves will not work with the 7.3L V8 either.

Both of your comments relate to the old V10 engine.
