Bought my 2020 Rogue at 53k. Just did the CVT service myself at 59k with Castrol CVT Transmax and replaced both filters. Over the last 1500-2000 miles I noticed the CVT working harder via engine revs and a slight decrease in “shift” smoothness. Originally I thought it was from cold Midwest weather. After replacing, the CVT and engine don’t even work nearly as hard. The old fluid was DIRTY as well as the internal filter. The magnets had sludge/grime on them. If you can do this starting at 30k miles vs 60k I highly recommend. I couldn’t be happier and recommend everyone do their own service.

Did my wife's 2020 Nissan Murano, drained 4.5 to 5 quarts of fluid out, change both filters, refilled with exactly how much I took out, not hard to do, just a little messy, I used Castrol transmax Universal ATF/CVT fluid, 3,000 mi in as of now and no problems whatsoever, just got back from a 1200 mile trip to Panama City Beach, Florida from Arkansas and it ran like a champ.
I changed mine one with Castrol ATF/CVT fluid and 6000 km later nothing wrong happened.
Changed the fluid after I bought a 09 altima sedan around 180k km. Castrol atf/cvt fluid and one filter used. It's been 7000km now and the car is doing fine.
I've used the Castrol CVT fluid in Nissans and Hondas with no problems.
