The oil fill is on the left side of the valve cover. Red, sort of.

No offence meant but if you are asking this question may I warn against over filling

7 litres from empty, maybe 400-500mL more if changing filter too (which you should do at every oil change)

Check level by tugging on the orange one next to "Trans Lock:" with car level and off for a minimum of two minutes, more's better. Level should be in the cross-hatched area on the stick, and if I recall correctly, 2 quarts will move it from the bottom of the x-hatch to the top.

I'll try to find a pic of the fill port and edit back....


Here is where you add oil, but as DrMike cautioned, don't "fill it up:"
