Default CHanging transmission fluid on 99 prelude

Okay so I saw this thread:

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2263090

and I now know where the drain plug is, and the filler hole.(The drain plug is almost exactly where it is on the older civics because I just changed both of my 92 civics the other day)

My question is...how much fluid do I fill in the filler hole? Do I just keep filling until it starts coming out? About how much fluid should I need before it starts coming out.

Everything is stock, and I know it should be on a level surface to drain and fill.

easiest way to fill it is get one of the pump adaptors for the bottle and a hose, or a funnel and a hose lol. It's a pain in the @$$ to try to use just a funnel

No, like rjr162 said, the easier way is to get one of those fluid pumps from the autoparts store. They're only a couple bucks and much cheaper than fumbling around with a funnel.
