Remove the fill plug before removing the drain plug. This way if there is any reason the fill plug will not come off you aren't stuck with a fluidless tranny. Not likely on a fairly new car like the Si, but better safe than sorry.

This also helps the old oil drain faster and likely will get more of the dirty oil out because it avoids the vacuum effect that slows the flow when only the drain pug is out.

I went ahead and used Honda Manual Transmission oil. I've always been told that engine oil isn't the best thing for honda transmissions.

I used to work at a honda dealership. I'm just gonna say i'd use the Honda manual transmission fluid.
