Its normally a 70w90 oil, the bolt underneath is easy enough, the filling is through the dip stick pipe so would suggest a funnel.
Other info can be found in your manual

Sorry, finger trouble lol, yes a 75w90, the dipstick is to the left of the intercooler at the back of the engine.
Try www.opieoils.co.uk for what lubricants you need
