That's great, Nissan says to replace at 60K miles. There are two schools on this topic, one to change it, one to leave it alone. I usually side with changing it , but your vehicle has a CVT and it is know that around your mileage is when the CVT develops issues requiring replacement. So I would say leave it alone, because you will be changing the whole unit at some point for a few thousand.
