Urgent Help Required

Hey guys just a quick one. I'm away at work offshore at the minute and the wife has told me the car needs oil. I haven't spent much time getting to know the car so i cant remember if you can fill it up from the drop down grill or do you need to take the bonnet off and use the cap like a normal car? Urgent help required if possible gentlemen and gentleladies.
 
Fear not, your wife can top it up from the front grille.

The level can be checked using the dipstick.
 
If you need to give her detailed instructions, once the grill is opened the oil filler is on the left(when facing the car) and pivots out for access so the cap can be unscrewed. Add approx half a litre at a time, wait a few minutes then check the level with the dipstick.
For reference the screen washer filler is on the right and also pivots out but does not have a screw cap.

Cheers Spike
 
And make absolutely sure that it doesn't get overfilled. (There is an oil pressure warning which looks a lot like the oil level warning).
