Appreciate all the responses- 5K sounds fine, will go with 5K and always filter changes.

You track hours driven using an aftermarket hourmeter? First I've heard of that for cars.

LOL -had to look him up! We're a Nissan family- my 07 Altima was first, then other family members owned 09 Sentra and now own 2010 Altima, 2013 Altima, 2016 Pathfinder, 2019 Rogue. None needed Scotty to Beam Them Up -No CVT issues!
