the thread should have the required info with a link at least. Not all of us read every thread.

Also do not name call once again, it's getting tiring

when you check your transmission oil, do it when the transmission is in drive and the brakes are on. It should be a nice cherry red colour, if its looking darker than that then its overdue for a change. A brown oil is a burnt oil. Chances are you just need Dextron transmission fluid but these things are best left to the pros so take it to a transmission shop for a flush and new filter if it is looking nasty. Mitsubishi trans are not the best of things so it pays to keep on top of maintenance.

For your engine oil, A good quality 10w40 or 15w40 is fine, dont cheap out and get warehouse stuff. Sometimes supercheap has GTX modern engine on special for $20 a container, this will be fine for your engine. Oil changes on that every 10,000km but no longer. Mitsubishis are known to burn oil so check if fairly regularly - every time you fill up. Its easier than running out and ruining your engine. If you dont know when it was last changed then go off the colour. If its black enough that you cannot see the markings on the dipstick through the oil then change it.
