Some fluids are proprietary, like Nissan’s earlier CVT oil which probably costs more than printer ink. Using some near-beer brand often resulted transmission failure.

If its much more than 100 bucks, I'd be pretty surprised, honestly. A quick google shows most Nissan CVT fluids (even the OEM "unicorn tears") at ~80 dollars for the usual 5 quarts etc. Virtually all the "proprietary" fluids are just rebranded mainstream brands (castrol/Valvoline etc etc), most car OEMs are not in the business of manufacturing their raw fluids themselves.
