Should I change the Trans Fluid on my 180K mile

Hi Scotty,

I have a 2011 Nissan Altima that I purchased nearly three years ago at 107K miles from a used car dealer. I use it for Uber in Chicago so there is a lot of stop and go driving. I'm averaging nearly 24K miles per year and perform regular maintenance on it. It now has 180K miles and I have not changed the transmission fluid. I want to change it but I have several mechanics telling me that if I haven't had any issues with the transmission, don't touch it because its a CVT.  I'll probably hang on to this car for another year or two. Should I change the trans fluid or leave it alone?

Thanks, love your episodes, I watch all the time.

Most mechanics have no clue about CVT's
