To drain it loosen and remove the 24mm bolt on the bottom and the smaller lowest square headed plug. To refill install the ones you remove and remove the larger square plug with a 14mm wrench and fill it till it overflows and your done.

There are two drain plugs, one fill plug. Page A-17 of the FSM explains it.
Unfortunately if you 5th gear synchro is gone, I don't think oil is going to cure it.
