Levi,
   The spridget eng and tranny have there own separate
oil areas but use the same type and grade.  There is a
rubber access plug on the drivers side of the tranny
tunnel just behind the fire wall that will allow you
access to the filler plug.  But a much easier way is
to remove the shift lever and add one and half qts of
your favorite oil.  You will have to do this slowly
and don't over fill the shift lever housing as there
is a small vent hole on the back of it and some oil
will run out.
