Same engine it seems, but where the fuck do you put the oil?

Hey there. I had the Chevy version of this truck once upon a time. The location depends on what engine you have:
If you have a 4-cylinder, cap should be near the center on top of the engine. If it’s the 4.3L V6 the cap will be off to one side, but still on top. I think we’re looking at the v6 here.
Look for a black or yellow cap, it should say OIL.
Can't find. Should be obvious right? But we can't even find it ☹️
Is there any way you can take a picture of the engine from directly above it?
It should be more towards the passenger side, maybe more forward then center. It may not say oil, but rather 5w-30 or something like that.
Yes, that's exactly where it should be, but we've been investigating this thing for about a half hour now. We simply can't find it, and the one half obvious thing top side is for power steering fluid, not engine oil..
It's getting dark right now here, no more investigating tonight.
The video link I found seems to be the same exact engine though.. 🤷
