Here's an image of the fill and drain plugs from the side:
And here's an image showing how the fill plug is accessible from above:
These are on a B-series tranny but I doubt the D-series will be much, if any different. |

It's an ordinary bolt, counter clockwise, or "lefty," will loosen it. If oil comes out when you open it, then it's full. If none comes out and you add a little until oil does spill out, then you'll know it is full.

Yep ^! The drain plug takes a standard size Honda oil crush washer while the fill plug is a little bigger. |

Can't know if it's too much without knowing how much? A couple ounces or 1.9 liters? And you removed the regular (14mm?) bolt not the one that require inserting the ratchet head into, right?

How did it look? was the car parked on flat with all 4 wheels on the ground?
It's the fill hole, so over filling is not an easy task.
