You must explain your problem better. It is unclear what you are asking us to help you with. Are you asking for the proper transmission fluid type or the differential gear oil?

If you are talking about the engine oil, 5W-30 or 10W-30 are pretty common weights for that size/age engine, but check the owners manual or there may be stickers on the underside of the hood for the proper engine oil.

You don't have gear oil you have transmission fluid and engine oil. Please follow the specification posted by others and provide a little more information as requested, it is difficult to know for sure what it is your asking.

Honda is very particular about lubricants and they are formulated with a special additive package so they will perform better than generic lubricants. I strongly recommend you use Honda automatic transmission fluid: it will not damage any component of your transmission and will lengthen the transmission's life. I am not certain whether you can drain all of the transmission fluid by removing the pan bolt. In my 1998 CR-V the pan bolt only drains out 3 of the 8 liters: the fluid coupling can not be drained directly. If that is the case with your car, you must drain the fluid three separate times making certain the car is driven some distance between each drain so the new fluid is throughly mixed with the old fluid. While that means that some of the old fluid invariably remains in the transmission, my wife, who is a good mathematician, calculated three separate drains of three liters each would remove ~ 94% of the old fluid.
