Well, if it is a '84, 1200, then there is a dipstick, with a filler cap beside it. Right side, foot brake side. If it is not an '84, and is an '83, 1100, then there is a small window to look in.
My owners manual for my 1984 Honda GoldWing says to use SAE 10W-40 Oil.
To check the oil on a 1993 Honda Goldwing, first ensure the motorcycle is on a level surface and the engine is warm but not hot. Locate the dipstick, which is typically found on the right side of the engine. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it without screwing it in, and then remove it again to check the oil level. The oil should be within the marked range; if it’s low, add the appropriate type of oil as specified in the owner’s manual.
same as the engine oil
The 1200 has a dip stick near the the oil fil cap. Check it while the bike is on the center stand. After unscrewing the dipstick and wiping it off you check the oil level without screwing the dipstick back in. Simply put the dipstick in the hole, remove and check. After verifying the proper oil level, then screw the dipstick back into the engine block
To check the transmission oil on a Honda Goldwing 1500, first ensure the motorcycle is on a level surface and the engine is warm. Locate the transmission dipstick, which is typically found near the rear of the engine. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it without screwing it in, and then remove it again to check the oil level. The oil should be within the designated marks on the dipstick; if it’s low, add the appropriate transmission oil as specified in the owner's manual.
10w40 is good. Check out Motul.

4.8 us quarts, but check the dipstick when your done, attached to the oil filler cap
Sorry, there is no real transmission oil. The clutch, transmission, stator, all operate with the engine oil. Therefor, it is best to use the oil from the dealer, and change it and the filter at 5,000 kms, or 3,000 miles.
I use Motul 10w40. Check with your local dealer.
On the right side there is a chcek glass it is hard to see
To change the oil in a 1981 Goldwing, first ensure the motorcycle is on a level surface and the engine is warm but not hot. Remove the oil drain plug located at the bottom of the engine and let the old oil drain into a pan. Replace the drain plug, then remove the old oil filter using an oil filter wrench and install a new one, applying a bit of new oil to the gasket. Finally, refill the engine with the appropriate type and amount of oil through the oil filler cap, check the oil level with the dipstick, and start the engine to circulate the new oil.
