Default 89 DX hatch questions

Hello all, I just bought my girlfriend an 89 civic DX hatch with the original motor w. 170k. I know nothing about this car, I drive a boosted 94 accord personally so I know my way around I just am not too specific on this. I checked the FAQ but it was fairy dull.

How many quarts of oil are in the motor?
How many quarts are in the transmission (4 speed auto)?
What else should I look for? Other than typical honda issues.

The oil capacity is listed on the air box. I don't remember for sure off the top of my head but I believe it's a little over 3 quarts. No clue about auto transmission stuff. I'm sure you could find these answers easily with a quick Google search.

Its a D15B2 motor with a four speed auto.

Can someone please tell me the tranny fluid capacity. I don't have even the owners manual for the car, but I was able to locate the stamped volume on the airbox for the oil.
