Nissan CVT Transmission fluid change

Asked by J- May 18, 2020 at 10:58 PM about the 2011 Nissan Altima 2.5

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2011 Nissan Altima and i hear that the CVT transmissions in these
cars are pretty unreliable.  The manual suggests changing the fluid after 60k
miles and i have heard other places that this will help extend life.  My car has
110k, fluid has not been changed. Nissan is charging me $330 for this but
other shops offer for half the price.  Do i need to get this done with Nissan?
Is this worth the money?

These transmissions are very reliable. They were changed a year or two later and the trouble started then.
