At what miles would you do a pan drop and install a new strainer/filter on a Nissan CVT?

2015. Dan put 100K on it in just shy of 7 years. Gave it to a needy family in December. It was dirty and needed CV axle work, but was otherwise fine. 190K on the clock. Serviced the oil and trans, and installed new brake components all around. I gave them $200 and told them to get the axle work done. The Mom was estatic. I'm sure they will get years of service out of that long running Altima.
Nice story. That 2.5 will still be running when the junk yard smashes it.
 
Knowing what I know about Nissan and their CVT problems I would recommend every 20 to 30,000 miles. And make sure that the fluid meets the spec for the vehicle. In all reality it's probably best to use factory Nissan fluid but I think Valvoline between their Max life line and their import line should have the specs needed for Nissan's

I used the Valvoline and Castrol CVT fluids.
