So here's a little more information. The dealership in Woodbridge said that the CVT fluid was $23 per quart, and that I would have to buy 8 quarts (which seems a bit low, based on the 2011 manual that was posted elsewhere on these boards). I tried to get the fluid from one of the websites listed, mitsubishipartswarehouse.com, but was told that due to hazmat regulations they cannot ship the CVT fluid. They also told me that I should only use Mitsubishi fluid as they have seen cars come into the shop with slipping or squealing transmissions from using substitutes.

Just wanted to pass along the info.

Yet another update:

I went to the dealership to get the fluid change done (and limited it to that and a "free" multipoint inspection since their full price for a 30K service was $650). The price came out to $150 for a drain and fill. The tech who was there said that they only drain and fill once, not twice (though they would do it twice if I wanted to pay extra). He said that Mitsubishi does not have a procedure for a "flush" of the system. In addition, he told me that Mitsubishi is constantly changing the CVT fluid, so he has seen a lot of different colors. Just wanted to pass this along.
