That's about right. The CVT specific oil here cost $81/4L - and here (a particular QLD Honda parts shop) you can walk up to the counter and buy, I guess as many cans as you need. The service manual did not mention the need to reset the ECU/CVT for oil changes, I'm unsure why it is necessary. Unless power is cut to the ECU during the procedure, which is again, unnecessary.

The only reason I can think of is: they do a reset of ECU to recalibrate the CVT, seeing that you are getting a fresh amount of oil, which presumably changes the smoothness of gear/belt transition. It is like saying to CVT: hey, you got a fresh oil now, calibrate yourself to this new, fluidy stuff. Just my 2 cents...
