This is the number 1 reason for pump whin on any Nissan product. I would do a fluid exchange. If you don't know how, get someone else to do it that is qualified.

I was pretty sure it was Dexron VI. I've used Red Line ATF D6 for years now with great success. My pump is starting to whine as well, but that's because it's going out.
