The oil drain plug is clearly marked OIL right above it. The filter is on the passenger side of the car and so is the plug
The other plug down there says ATF- dont mess with that one
4.7 qts with filter- 5 qts wont hurt it
drain plug torque is 29 ft lbs or wrench tight and whack the wrench with the hammer- you dont want the plug falling out

That info is also in the owner book linked above.
There is one on the bottem of the radiator and an engine drain plug at the rear block-
up between the CV and exhaust pipe. Some years have a small bolt, others have a valve there too. Draining everything is the proper way to do it.
Read and follow the directions in book for bleeding air from system after change.
Use 50/50 Honda antifreeze. Buy 2 gallons
