thats a sure way for Nissan to sell a CVT transmission to the customer after warranty as they do not sell any service parts for it.

It does require oil change - its actually has drain and fill ports and a dipstick too. In a CVT the fluid takes an immense beating from the variator pulleys and the lockup from the torque converter at lower rpm than usual. The temperatures easily spike to 250F when you are passing at full pedal or are pulling a load or even brisk acceleration.

Do not fall for the filled for life statement - its a similar story like the Mercedes Benz NAG-1 gearboxes.
