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.

That's exactly what it sounded like to me. I've never dealt with a newer Nissan and it sounded like a total load. Just was trying to save them from getting screwed.
Thanks folks.
