What is the dipstick under front seat? Mine isn't showing any fluid on the dipstick.
It’s your sub-transmission, this should be what you’re looking at.

What type of fluid does it hold? Should it be not reading on dipstick when engine is cold?
10w30 honda gn4 is what I use in both my engine and sub trans. It should be on the dipstick.

Oooof! You should be adding oil if it does not show!

ETA - Check oil when cold with dipstick NOT screwed in, just sitting there. Yes it is your transmission oil. Yes it is the same as your motor oil =

Glove box. Some have found it underneath rt front seat. Pull latchat middle of seat.

But take our advice. Sub trans is dangerously low!
