The drain would be the lowest plug on the gearbox.
And I believe the fill has OIL written on it... could be wrong though.

That's what I thought but the plug I found is so low to the bottom it's almost like it's the drain plug the one that says oil
That's why I'm asking anybody if they would be kind enough to share some pictures with me so I understand where, they are supposed to be I have to do the job in the next few days as I have to drop my son off at his mother's which is a 300km drive
Cheers

How close to the bottom is it?
It's not that far up from the bottom of the case as you only put about 2L of oil into them.

From memory it's like 10cm above the bottom of the transmission

Yes something like that, I'm pretty sure I know which ones to use but like I said It would be awesome if somebody could post a photo but I think this website is dead so I'll just try my luck

You can go through the Mitsubishi manual which should tell you where it is as well:

Thanks everyone I did the oil chang all is well but I think there may be up to 100ml too much oil in there after I did the change.
I'm gonna try and get it as perfect as I can but it's too late I have to do a long drive today about 300km
I hope having about 100ml or 150ml is going to be ok dose anyone think that it might be a problem?

Oil should be filled until it starts coming out of the fill plug
