Anyone in the US seen the Alfine/ Nexus8 'oil bath' kit for sale?

As seen he

Sure makes overhauling the hub look easy. None of my LBS, even one
that sells almost nothing but nexus hub bikes, can get it.

Are you suggesting that the Official Shimano Nexus Lubricant Plastic
Container is a requirement for lubricating a gearbox?

Dipping a gear hub in a tub of oil is an overhaul?

I can supply the cup myself. It is the oil that I want (since the
conventional wisdom is that using anything other than shimano-approved
lubricants will kill your hub), and only the grease is available here
in the US.

Right. Shimano planned ahead 50 million years ago and pressed special
Shimano dinosaurs to make their special Shimano gearbox oil.
