The drain plug is just behind the exhaust downpipe where it crosses over the underside of the transmission. The fill plug is on the driver's side, just forward of the inboard CV joint.
Make sure you loosen the fill plug first as you don't want to drain the oil to find out you can't fill it.
I used a length of tygon tubing about 0.5 in OD and snaked it up through the engine bay to fill the transmission. It takes 2.7 litres to fill it, keep filling until the excess oil spills out. The spec on the oil is 75W90, OEM part # G 005 000.
