Can someone please show me where the decals pictured below go in the engine compartment? I have searched my assembly manual but I think mine is incomplete. It may not make a difference but the car was manufactured in Canada. Thanks in advance.
Also, what would have been written on the antifreeze sticker?
On a '68 Oshawa car, the oil recommendations sticker is on the left fender liner, below the horn relay, upside down so it is readable leaning over the fender. Possible it is the same for your year. I don't remember where the other stickers would go, anti freeze on the upper rad plate near the rad cap or to the left of the plate on the support.

Well for a Canadian car, likely a very sub-zero temperature. But realistically, it would depend upon the glycol/water percentage that was installed at the time. This graph shows the freeze protection for different ratios. Colder climates would obviously need more glycol than warmer climates.
I'm assuming it's a 442. At any rate, SAE 5W-30 is a recommended viscosity oil by Oldsmobile, but it would most likely apply to vehicles in Canada where they run at least four months of the year well below 40°F (and, often well below 20°F). Southwest Virginia, not so much.
It's been blazing hot around my place this summer (95°+). I just did an oil change and used SAE 20W-50. If it is an Oshawa car, it might not be out of the ordinary. SAE 5W-30 is rated between -35°C - +35°C (-31°F - 95°F).
