how to chek tranny oil
To check the tranny fluid level on a 5 speed...
Straight form any owners manual.
Check the fluid level with the transmission at normal operating temperature and the car sitting on level ground. Remove the transmission filler bolt and carefully feel in side the bolt hole with your finger. The fluid level should be up to the edge of the bolt hole. If it is not, add honda manual transmission fluid (MTF) until it starts to run out the hole. Reinstall the filler bolt and tighten it securely.

You only want to add Honda MTF if that's what is already in there. If the transmission is currently filled with motor oil, then that is what you want to add. Or better yet, drain ALL the oil and refill with Honda MTF.

There's a drain bolt below. You use a 3/8" drive ratchet to loosen it.
