Help !!

Leaving in the a.m. to go snowmobiling and just noticed the oil is a little low on one of the Floe snowmobile trailer hubs. I know many of the boat trailers use the same system. Question, what tool is used to get the metal cap off? I can't tell if you put an allen wrench or what in there? Also, being it looks like a metal cap that screws into a plastic housing, is there a chance the plastic may break as I try to get out the metal screw cap? Next question is what type of oil goes in there? Thanks !!

I will keep looking for my Floe owner's manual but so far no luck....jim

figured it out. it was an allen wrench I needed. So much corrosion it was hard to tell. Dealer said 80-90 weight oil. I'm now good to go. Trying to squeeze in one more ride in S. Wisconsin before the big meltdown (and floods).
