98 Civic Trans Fluid Help

Anyone know how I check the trans fluid on a 98 civic auto with a D16y8? Also, anyone know what type of fluid it should take?

Thanks

For Honda automatic transmission fluid I stick with OEM fluid but that's me.

On manual's I will deviate if I've heard good reviews from builders.
