nope, that is about right. I have to assume that it is a CVT transmission. If so, its even more expensive here in Canada

thanks so much. I figured there had to be something wrong when I was told this price from the person that performed the service.

CVT transmission fluid is a special synthetic fluid, which you can't buy from your local NAPA store, or whatever jobber store you have around. It is dealer exclusive for another year

I agree with eliot, shops and dealerships often have a service charge, cvt fluid typically ranges from $10-$20, as for lubeguard I wouldn't risk using it in a cvt
