The woman was full of crap if she said "you need" or "it is a condition of your warranty that". It clearly says in the NISSAN Service and Maintenance Guide for 2010 that:
As a condition of your vehicle's warranty, you are responsible for properly maintaining your vehicle. In
maintaining your vehicle, you should follow either Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 as listed below. Use these
guidelines to determine which maintenance schedule to use.
Where Schedule 1 and 2 are described as follows (sorry I thought it was A and B)
SCHEDULE 1 (more severe operating
conditions), every 3,750 miles or 3
months, whichever comes first
Use Schedule 1 if you primarily operate your
vehicle under any of these conditions:
Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles in
normal temperatures or less than 10 miles in
freezing temperatures
Stop-and-go traffic in hot weather or lowspeed
driving for long distances
Driving in dusty conditions or on rough,
muddy, or salt-spread roads
Towing a trailer, or using a camper
or car-top carrier
SCHEDULE 2 (less severe operating
conditions), every 7,500 miles or 6
months, whichever comes first
Schedule 2 features 7,500-mile service
intervals; with Schedule 2 fewer maintenance
items are regularly checked or
replaced than with Schedule 1.
Generally, Schedule 2 applies only to
highway driving in temperate conditions.
Use Schedule 2 only if you primarily operate
your vehicle under conditions other than
those listed in Schedule 1.
Let your judgment guide you, but you don't have to bring it in every three months and the way you described your driving habits it looks like every 6 months is close to your schedule.
