So @High Performance Lubricants now has a CVT fluid (maybe David can give some insight on which CVT fluids this is a replacement for) plus the PDS has been updated. Enjoy!

They cry PAO?
When I pull up the PDS on HPL's ATF page, it doesn't show the CVT fluid.
I know; they’re working on updating it. That’s why I pasted the whole chart.
Maybe 
I will try the CVT fluid from @High Performance Lubricants . It too is PAO and Ester like the non slip I use from Redline. Hopefully it's HCF2 certification. Kinda been looking at the No VII 5w30 too as well as the Royal Purple HPS 5W30.

I will stick to Honda HCF2....Not worth taking a chance....Maybe
... didn’t know they had a cvt fluid. Just bought a case of gallon jugs of Amsoil cvt fluid for my accord

Well, the CVT is listed here through HPL's distributor:

HCF2? Might have to try if i ever use up all my Redline Nonslip CVT Fluid. Although the no tax and free shipping is pretty hard to turn down with what I'm using now LOL
Believe @Revving2Redline has over 330K on his 2017 Honda accord sport with cvt. I’m only at a little under 87K miles on my 17 accord sport
Edit: oops, see on his signature it’s 355K

524,000km Mitsubishi Mirage engine teardown
This channel has some teardowns on high-mile Mitsubishi Mirage with the Jatco CVT.
From the comments:
"I replaced the cvt in this car at 300,000km. Installed a used one. They can last longer than when you change the fluid more often, 50k km/30k miles seems to work. Right now there’s only with 536k on the same cvt and engine. A handful have over 400k km too."
So is this long life due to regular maintenance, the lighter chassis, or due to Mitsubishi's programming of the TCU compared to Nissan, etc. ?
Cvt's hate torque and the mirage and versa use the same cvt if I'm not mistaken but the mirage makes like a third less power so that beats the cvt a lot less which is why it lasts so long on the mirage. But most people never service them and that's the main cause of failure. The mirage is a great car and I say Mitsubishi should at least delay discontinuation because the economy and consumer buying power has gone down a lot more than expected since they made that decision. Apparently they're becoming popular enough to where people are buying a spirit ticket to a different state to pick one up now since they're 15-17k and surprisingly reliable given that it has existed for a decade so there's a lot of data on them and are simple to fix if they have an issue.
Whats a good viscosity index range number for a really good cvt fluid like @High Performance Lubricants
Or Redline Non Slip CVT Fluid?
You should be able to calculate it from the 40*C & 100*C viscosities.
The CVT fluid is no longer on the PDS on the site from what I can see. Is there a separate CVT PDS now?
Mr. @HPL Plant Manager would be the best one to inquire with.
It appears I never updated the webstore PDS with the CVT version. I will have to do that tomorrow when I’m at the office.
