In an auto there is a dipstick. Cant remember but its either towards the front of the engine bay on the gearbox side or towards the rear of the engine bay.

In a manual, there is a filler plug just above the drivers side driveshaft. Stick your finger in there and you should feel the level.

Oil fiter is on the rear side of the engine bay. Have to lift the car up on stands or a hoist. It is above the midshaft. Recommend not to do an oil change on stands if the car is hot. Well. if the exhaust is hot.

Most manual gearboxes dont have a dipstick. Its the filler hole that tells you your level.
