Thanks for the info...

Went to Scarborough mitsu and asked John for Redline CVT fluid, he said he has none. So i settled with OEM to which he quoted $100 for 4L can. He couldn't offer the GB price as he says there's no such arrangement in place

I did a drain/fill and you can extract ~4L by draining. The rest remains in the tranny. I will have to do a drain/fill again after a month's time.

He would know better than I but I thought it was 6L of fluid in the transmission case. our transmission is completely submerged inside so there is alot of fluids in there.

that said if you had it filled once, you should be good for another year or so.

Hey Kev,
Yes, you are right. According to the service manual, the tranny holds about 6.3 quarts. I was worried the remaining 2L would contaminate the new 4L so i was rushing to change it in a months time. But when I drained the original fluid out, it wasn't that dark and looked clean. Maybe, i might do it again in the spring. I do a lot of highway driving.

Also, Any idea why Scarborough Mitsu couldn't offer the club pricing and why no Redline CVT fluid?

Dealership price should be 16 dollars or so. Call Erin Mills, or Maple if Scarborough doesnt have any left
