100k mile CVT fluid change
I recently hit 100k miles in my 2010 Maxima and changed my CVT fluid for the 2nd time since owning it. I change my oil every 5k miles, my CVT fluid every 50K miles and I rotate my tires every 7500 miles.
For the 2010 Maxima, Nissan recommends the cvt fluid be changed at 100k miles. I hope everyone who owns a Maxima realizes that 100k miles is way too long. At 50k miles my fluid was light brown, today after 100k miles it looked like well used motor oil.
I attribute that to me living in the California desert for the past 18 months where the summertime temperature averaged 110 degrees. I hope to have this car for at least another 100 to 150k miles or to 2020, whichever comes first.

Yeah I just changed mime at 60,000 and went through the dealer for the full change. I also changed the inline filter seeing that nissan was trying to charge me $120 to do it I just did it myself in 30 minutes from start to finish.
