How often to change the CVT Fluid?

I'd offer, that if changing the CVT fluid causes perceptible performance changes, then something is terribly wrong.

But specifically what is wrong is beyond me.
The first time I changed mine at 63000 km, car became much smoother.

The second time I change the fluid, it started to act weirdly noticeably! So, I cleared all the codes, cvt memories etc... and it has been good.

I am at 130000 km now and I feel it is acting a little strangely, but 8 think about it's CVT everyday so maybe it is in my head but usually I am correct with picking up these differences... Irrespective of this, I already had planned to change the fluid and I think I will do it tomorrow .. let's see how it reacts!

I have 7 days until the end of my 7 years warranty period! That's why I wanted to change the fluid to see if any surprises will be in the drained fluid!
