Hi, it goes in the gearbox dipstick pipe. You'll need funnel.

Yeah the dip stick is yellow and is close to the firewall, to check the level the car needs to be warm. And with the engine running, check the level, it must be between the two points, top up if needed. Dont over fill that causes issues.
hope this helps
