YES! I changed my fluid at 7000 miles. It was ridiculously bad. Nissan puts really crappy fluid in there from the factory. The magnetic drain plug was covered in sludge. If you do a search, you'll see many others who have experienced this.

My advice.... change the fluid after your break-in period (around 5-10K miles). And, put some decent synthetic fluid in the diff.
