Do you have a symptom with the transmission? If not I would recommend allowing the dealer to service it with a filter us well. Do to Nissans CVT issues. Ask them to get print out of codes and they can check more for overheating in the system.
My suggestions on this transmissions is to service the oil every 20,000 to 25,000 miles

You might have a inline transmission cooler line filter, (you have to look to verify) other wise you have to open transmission to replace the one that is in the transmission.

Hi,

As far as replacing the transmission fluid, it is a little different than a traditional transmission. Here are the directions specific to this vehicle. The attached pic correlates with the directions.

Note: Please make sure to only use the recommended CVT fluid for this procedure.
