There's a special charging pipe needed to fill the gearbox (part number 310811EA5A). Checking it is a matter of letting it overflow when the gearbox is at a certain temperature (I think that is "under 40C"). Nissan say that the fluid is supposed to last for life.

I've got a copy of the official nissan service manual I can link you guys. It's exactly 40C and I intend to use an infrared thermometer to roughly measure that temp from the oil pan, crude I know but without the nissan consult III+ you can’t check it.
Also the tool looks like a pain to get, I was going to buy this after market one, which is a copy of the nissan tool and looks to be high quality:

Have a look at it and see for yourself.

It wouldn't surprise me - I think it's the 350Z that also uses the same gearbox.
The tool works when you pump in the appropriate amount of oil from underneath and let the excess flow back out. Don't ask me how it makes sense to anyone trying to save money, when it really isn't difficult to whack in a dipstick.
Making the thread sticky isn't a bad idea as it has the manual referenced in it.
