Nope thats it alright, i just changed mine this weekend to synthetic, what a difference! If you take a ratchet with an extension and a 15mm socket, you can take the filler plug completely out, you dont need too but it helps to fill it up.

When you open the hood look between the battery and the engine just a bit back, there it is.

ok, but how would you go about checking the level of the fluid?

in the manual it said its some were on the side, so when you fill it up all the way it will start to run out.

there is a pic/drawing but its useless

Well just put oil in it until it starts to come out of the filler plug, it has to be full, if your missing some thats not right
