There is no dipstick. There is a bolt you pull on the the clutch cover to check it. It should say "level or check" or something like that.
Id use the Honda trans oil.

To check the oil level you remove the oil check bolt located directly underneath you oil fill cap, and if oil comes out then it is full. If you pull the bolt out and no oil pours out then you are low. Fill it with oil until it starts to come out again.
Honda recommends the use of a Honda 4-stroke oil or an equivilant high detergent, premium quality motor oil.
Recommended oil viscosity is SAE 10w-40.
Transmission oil quantity is .74 quarts after disassembly
and .64 quarts at oil change.
As you can see that is hardly any oil. Recommended oil change period is every 30 operating days or 3 months, whichever comes first.
