and just so you guys know anytime i hear someone changes fluid in say a murano the dam thing needs a tranny!!! for instance nissan has a service bulliten on the murano for a shifting code. we had three come into my shop by 3 different techs. the message states reprogram tcm, and replace valve body. means drain fluid to remove pan (to gain access to valve body). all 3 had service message done and all 3 needed new trannys. a cvt is almost 4000 dollars!!!plus labor.
what i'm saying is the new cvts don't like the fluid changed, if you flush your tranny in at say 150k miles there is a risk of needing a tranny. the vehicle will not move..just thought you guys should be aware of future costly problems of the cvt.i could be wrong but this is my experiance with the cvt and its what i've heard at other local nissan dealers.

What nissan dealer do you work for? I did the CVT fuild on my Moms murano at 30k per the book. The fuild is expensive ($18.00 a qt) as you know but other than that it seems seems fine.
