I wouldn't worry about it. The cap cannot be put in the wrong hole. The other blind hole has no threads and the cap will not fit or screw into.

Funny video, good ole country fun.

You may have to turn your snowblower upside down to fill them then.

Oh noes!

Actually those are not drain holes those are fill holes. The drain holes have a plug in them with a square head. Located lower down just behind the fill plug.
You can see one in the second photo just above the arrow.

You could be right, I tend to not work on my own machine but I know those are the oil holes. The other plugs could be the drains and I have one on each side as well. Somehow I don't think draining the oil is a big issue.
