As the website you were provided says, it's on the side. My experience is that when I have filled it up to the hole, the shifter arm point on the case weeps. Messy. I just stick a finger inside the hole up to the first joint and point it down and when the fingertip is damp, I stop there. I remember that I've got the van jacked up and the "level" of the lube is going to be higher than if I filled it while not jacked up, so I don't fill it up to the hole.
