Diamond uses Honda Fluid

You can get Mitsubishi SPIII transmission fluid (white container) to buy at some parts places.

this retails for $65.00 to $75.00 per quart

on teh GDI Lancer (with F101A) CVT transmission you need to use SPIII rated fluid rated for INVECS III transmission, NOT ATF+3, which is the INVECS II transmission fluid - CK Lancers and EA7 Galants

I have used this fluid in my GF's CS3A Lancer and soon in my CS3A Lancer

There is also a Hyundai SPIII on teh market, that suppose to work in teh F101A transmission, since SPII\III is a Mitsu\Chrysler standard to which some Hyundai models conform to

since CAS is the distributor\agent for AMSOIL in T&T, they would have a lot of fluids

however, if teh specific fluid that you are refering to is AMSOIL Synthetic Universal Automatic Transmission Fluid, then I urge you to reconsider.

I had e-mailed AMSOIL Technical Services Department asking about the use of this fluid in a CVT and they replied specifically that the Synthetic Universal Automatic Transmission Fluid was not for use in CVT transmissions

this fluid is a good replacement for SPII, although the site says it is an SPIII replacement, the guys at AMSOIL specifically said not to use it in a CVT

can't seem to find the e-mail, else I would have posted it
