If anything, definitely do the cvt fluid drain and fill.
Easy as an oil change, 5-6 qts.
Use synthetic 75w-90 gear oil for transfer case, its the same as the rear differential.
I let the others chime in for the rest.
Awesome thank you! I'll look for either an 80w90 or 75w90 in full synthetic

According to the 2012 FSM:
API GL5 80W-90 for the diff and transfer case. 1L should do both.
I would do the CVT too, 6qt NS-2
NGK 9029 are the OEM plugs. (Rockauto has them at a good price)
Thank you for the advice! Is the nissan dealer the only place to get this transmission fluid?
What is the total fluid capacity? I know a drain and fill usually doesnt get it all out. On my trucks a drain and fill will drop about 8 quarts but it holds over 20.

I'm pretty certain all of your questions have been answered in other threads.

-Transfer case- this one I'm not sure about. I read the DIY write up someone else did and it was very informative but then after more research I got confused about what type of fluid a 2012 takes. It's always in 4x4 but it does have a "lock" button, but no dial
Okay, I'm not sure if you've been misinformed, or simply unfamiliar with the difference between AWD and 4x4, but they are NOT the same thing (which also explains why there's no dial).
Your 2012 Nissan Rogue DOES NOT have a 4x4 system. It is All Wheel Drive (AWD). The short description is that your vehicle is front wheel drive with
AWD assist at low speeds only. The "AWD LOCK" splits power 50% to the front and 50% to the rear,
but only works until 18 mph, and then turns off.
I am very familiar in the differences between awd and 4x4, I made some poor word choices in my initial post. I was just confused becasue I thought did find one thread saying some of the newer rogues needed an actual atf fluid in them instead of gear oil, but I may be wrong
Thanks for the explanation of what the 4x4 lock does, I was curious about the specifics of what that button did
