Where to buy CVT fluid?

GL scrappy

As per title, need to replace fluid in a CVT (metal belt type), can only find fluid for sale in Japan or U.S., local motor factors haven't heard of it.
Anyone know of an Irish supplier, preferably leinster area?

Ideally this; http://www.ebay.com/itm/Eneos-Nippon-Oil-High-Performance-CVT-Fluid-Synthetic-Trans-1-Case-6-Quarts-/221186647308?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item337fc0650c&vxp=mtr

Main dealer?

Eric Cartman

a honda or farm machinery dealer would probably have it, quads have CVT transmissions.

Thanks for the input, main dealers would usually be a last resort for me for various reasons, price being the main one. I will try them if I've no luck elsewhere.
AFAIK Honda cars use a different type of CVT to mine and so the fluids aren't compatible, don't know what type the quads use but it's another place I can look.

I didn't expect it to be hard to find with all the CVT driven cars that are around these days. Valvoline, Esso and Redline all make it and I think it can be bought online, just if I could buy it in a shop tomorrow, I'd rather that than wait for a delivery.

I stock this, unfortunatly I'm a main dealer, so probably too expensive for you. If you want some send me a pm and I an give you details.....then again there is also the Japanese or Amercian option !!

Thanks for the offer swarlb, pm sent.

I hope I didn't come across as anti-main dealer, just that parts for this particular car are usually far more expensive from a main dealer than anywhere else.
Price is not the only reason, I'm in Meath, nearest main dealer is in Dublin, just would have thought of CVT fluid as a consumable that I might find more locally.

Opie oils do seem to stock the Valvoline fluid, anyone know what their delivery times are like?

What car, out if interest ? Prius ? Audi ?

1994 Subaru Vivio. Newer legacys also use a cvt, but I don't think it's the same type, so fluid Subaru supply may not be compatible.

Absolutely no help, but the name vivio is VI VI 0 - as in 660 reference to the engine cc

Interesting facts are always welcome, helpful or not.

So, anyone know where this can be bought on a saturday?

I'd go main dealer for this based on everything I've read about CVT + AUDI...
It is expensive - about €20 a litre.
Sorry post is a little late...

Blauparts.com might do it a little cheaper?

Only seeing this now, I did mean to update.
I ended up getting Valvoline cvt fluid from opieoils, think it cost about 60 euro for 2 litres inc deliivery. Good service, I'd use them again.
