I didn't post this under the sales category because they seem to be regular prices with no special rebates or promo, but you can move it to sales if that is indeed the batter category.

Anyway, I found Castrol CVT fluid on Amazon for 6 quarts for $34.99, under $6/qt which is by far the lowest price for CVT fluid of any brand anywhere. If you'd rather buy your fluid in-store, Autozone has it for $7.19/qt, still the cheapest CVT fluid of any brand in any store.

Worth mentioning because Castrol is rarely if ever the lowest-priced brand. Like brake fluid, see below.

Amazon also has Mag 1 DOT 4 for a little over $40 for 12 quart bottles. That's less than $3.50/qt. But WAIT, that's not even the best part! According to Mag 1's spec sheet, the dry boiling point is at least 528F, and the wet BP is at least 334F. That's better than many fluids that cost 3x as much! For example, Castrol LMA is 509 dry, 329 wet. Mag 1 DOT 4 spec sheet
 
The problem with CVT transmission is all manufactures recommend their own fluid with certain part number.

Unless Castrol CVT specially states that it is approved for certain specs of certain manufacture it is difficult to take a risk, saving few dollars for a fluid change every 3-4 years.
