ENEOS Import Model S CVT Fluid

[Nessism1]

This Eneos Model S fluid is basically the same price asd the real deal Subaru fluid. I'd run the OEM stuff.

I should also add that my 2012 Legacy had used CVT installed when I bought it. When I eventually got it home after getting it road worthy, I noticed an oil leak in the driveway. Upon investigation, I determined that it must have been the CVT input shaft seal that was leaking because the fluid was red and not the green variant recommended by Subaru. I started by correcting the fluid level (overfilled) and the leak disappeared. 31k kms later, the CVT is still going strong with the "wrong" fluid. I probably should have dropped the pan, just to have a look, at the last engine oil change.

Mystery fluid? ATF??

Not sure what fluid was used by the transmission shop @Pablo, but it's not green. Most likely they would have used the cheapest fluid they could find.
