Why would you go with non-subaru stuff?

Because the OEM fluid is only available in a 5 gallon pail and cost ~$400.
A typical drain and fill will only require about 3 quarts.
The ENEOS Eco CVT fluid is available in quarts and is less $7 a quart. (Plus $10 shipping)
So out the door for 4 quarts is ~$36

Maybe these guys can help you out....
cvt fluid
Since the family's MY18(IE old gen), I lucked out and could get 1 quart bottles of the factory cvtf II fluid. You might consider adding a quart or two for the drain and refill. Never a good thing being caught light on fluid in that situation(IE car on lift pumping fluid in to top off at proper temp).

Interesting. They are buy the 5 gallon pails and repackaging into quarts and sell it at $37.41 a quart.

My Subaru dealer did mine and I was only charger $200 for labor and fluid.

That's a great price. My seller dealer and another dealer quoted me $490.

I ordered a case of the ENEOS Eco CVT fluid and will report back on the results.
I also plan on sending in a virgin oil sample of the OEM fluid and the ENEOS Eco CVT fluid into Blackstone for testing.
