its a pretty easy process....theres a drain plug at the side of your manual gearbox near your left front suspension....and the fill plug is on the front of the gearbox if i remember correctly....just unscrew both of them, let the oil drain, and refil with the proper grade oil....it tells you exactly what to do in the cars manual...

but how are you gonna put the oil in? i think you need a pump to push it through a tube since the opening is quiet small? or at least thats how i saw my mechanic do it...

i put the oil into a plastic bottle and connected a tube to the bottle and squeezed the oil into the gearbox heheheh it worked
