Not sure about your question on the manuals.
There are two petcocks in the oilpan, RH side, I think. Open the lower one, if no oil runs out, add oil until it runs out the top petcock. Oilfill cap is on the RH side of the engine, a flat threaded cap about 2" in diameter with thumbgrips (wings). Just ahead of the distributer. Use straight weight 30W unless operating in severe cold.

Edit:

Just noticed this was my 3000th post here.

IH S W 6 is more correctly an IH "McCormick Super W-6" tractor.

Built 1952 to 1954, essentially the same engine and basic transmission is the IH "Farmall Super M" tractor.

Binder Books sell a reprint of the Operator's manual for tractors with chassis serial number 3952 and above.
Binder Books part # 1004277

Hope that helps!
