If you are referring to the red "plug" that can be seen from looking down on engine, it is the check engine oil level port. It is, however, without a dipstick. If you wish to manually check engine oil level, you need to purchase a dipstick to check the oil level from this port. It is also used to extract engine oil using an extraction pump (will only extract oil from the rear section of the two section oil sump pan). Trans fluid check port is hidden between the passenger side Surge Tank and firewall.

one car at a time
Sorry I meant it more rhetorically....it does not appear the engineers wanted people to actually look at the oil...probably smart as most people don't and better to just have a computer check...
