As for transmission fluid, the 1976 GL1000 does not use transmission fluid. It has a wet clutch, and the engine oil provides all the lubrication that the clutch and transmission requires. For this reason it is extremely important to use the correct engine oil and change it at regular intervals. For detailed information check out www.randakks.com.
There is no dipstick on this bike. Instead, there is a sightglass on the right side of the crankcase. You may have to use a flashlight to see the oil level through the sightglass. With the bike on the center stand, the oil level should be around the middle of the sight glass "window". Some people have made their own dipsticks to use in these bikes.
I use Motul 10w40. Check with your local dealer.
No
The oil on an 81 GL1100 Goldwing motorcycle is checked by removing the dipstick. Marks on the stick indicate how much oil is currently in the engine.
15W40
Yes, it is. However, there is separate gear oil in the final drive of the Goldwing, as it is shaft driven.
Honda does not require Synthetic oil for the Goldwing. So it's up to you. BTW: I have never heard of a wing dying due to an oil related problem. Mine is still running strong at 110,000 miles changed every 8k per Honda.
same as the engine oil
My owners manual for my 1984 Honda GoldWing says to use SAE 10W-40 Oil.

That is where you add the oil.
