    Although there is no distributor in Pakistan fortunately Lubeguard is an international company and there is a distributor in Oman and the UAE that probably could ship to you. The company is called Dexol and here is the contact info for their distributors.

    Oman contact info: Telephone: 968-24458708 Email: oman.dexol@gmail.com

    UAE contact info: Telephone: 971-6-5420800 Email: uae.dexol@gmail.com

    Hope this helps you out. This fluid will be expensive but at least it's listed as meeting the specifications for Mitsubishi.

    Thanks for your time & effort. Its not possible for me to get it from oman or uae. Let me check locally what is available than ill research and ask for guidance for compatability with cvtf j4. Thanks once again. Between do we fill transmission oil from dip stick funnel or by opening some bolt plus can we use toyota cvt tc

    What about Saudi or Kuwait?

    Valvoline makes a CVT fluid that is listed as compatible. There is a Valvoline distributor in Pakistan.

    Dextron III is definitely NOT compatible. The Suzuki Swift uses the JATCO CVT7 also. Confirm with the dealer there in Pakistan. If so the CVT fluid for the Swift should be fine. It's the same transmission as the Mirage.

    The answer is probably no. The Toyota does not use a JATCO CVT. One final thought. Nissan's use JATCO CVT's because they own JATCO. Use Nissan CVT fluid for the new X-Trail and you should be fine.

    2nd shout out here for Inuvik for sure.

    Anyways, here's another option that shows as substitute for Mitsubishi's CVT Diaqueen fluid:

    I may or not be using this stuff when the time comes to service my trans.
