There's either a problem with the gearbox that no amount of oil changing will fix, or the dealer is pulling a classic scam.
Here is what the fluid looks like:

This isn't a transmission, the are no clutches or much heat, it is more like a differential, very low "stress". I don't plan on changing sooner than recommendedpowersurge said:Can anyone locate where the drain and fill/ check level plugs are?? I have not looked under my car, but have about 30k miles on it..
Generally, I change transmission fluids at that mileage..
Not to my understanding. The reduction gear is basically like a traditional transaxle minus the transmission. A traditional fwd car, has only a transaxle, which integrates transmission and differential. In the Leaf, it has a reduction gear instead of transmission.powersurge said:Yes, but isn't there a set of transmission or differential gears that powers the wheels? I would imagine that there is a fluid to change with a differential in the front?

LeftieBiker said:As long as the oil is the right viscosity (which I don't know, sorry) the synthetic will be fine, hot cool or cold. And you should never have to change it again.
There are more features oil might have to do. Not just flow according to manufacturer specifications.
There might be things we do not know. Conductivity, anti-foaming, hydrophobic, anti algae - endless list.
