This is the wife's Altima, but your Rogue's plug will be in a similar place. You're looking from in front of the driver's front wheel toward the passenger rear wheel.:

not just overfilled, but is it enough (which also might cause excessive temperature for cvt fluid)... ?
They need to be way underfilled before you see any symptoms at all. We saw one Sentra that literally drove around a full quart low for at least 10K (we don't know exactly how long), but it didn't overheat or even get a headache. On the other hand, even a pint high will usually cause a measurable temp increase, and a quart over is usually a CVT death sentence. It's because overfilling causes the fluid to foam, and the foam creates "thin" spots in the fluid film which is supposed to prevent the belt from contacting the pulleys. That creates extra friction which spikes the temperature in a hurry, plus adding extra shear load onto the already-boiling fluid. They don't last long in that condition, we've seen them crap out in as little as 1000 miles.
hm... good to know.
on our t32 (which was bought new and at 60kmiles - dealership did that partial fluid change in cvt) - when I replaced all transmission fluids at 120k, all fluids were above mark.
