Why not every 10,000 change since not expensive? That would be even better right? gear more smoother and will convince urself ur gearbox will last longer mar right? than normal sythethic engine oil change u also wont want to change at 10k right? 5k would be a good time also engine more smooth less chance for sludge to built up in ur engine? still got a long list like brake oil,engine coolant tyres,brake pad etc......it is good to half the recommended time or milege by the manufacturer so u can feel good u had done everything u can to keep ur car smoother :zipped:

u can go ahead at do what u recommend, its your car after all... for me, 30,000 - 40,000 will be just right.... like i mentioned before, that is jus me...

i dont think there will be any harm to our CVT GB if we change the transmission fluid frequently other then burnt wallet. The cvt fluid must be NS-2 from Nissan, no after market type to be use. CVT NS-2 fluid is quite costly, about 90 - 110 per 4 litre. Please correct me if i'm wrong ... :thumbsup:
