i changed mine at about 55K kms, along w/ the diff. you should change these fluids during the 40k service. you don't have to get it done at the dealer. they charge far too much $$ for these simple procedures. a quick-lube shop can do it for 1/2 price using synthetic fluids.
Your timing is a bit off I think. 40k miles is closest to 37,500mi service, which is just an oil change :-) If it's a car you just got used then might as well play it safe and change the tranny fluid. Otherwise I'd wait for 60k.
According to the maintenance schedule, AT fluid doesn't need changing until at least 60K miles. http://x.infinitihelp.com/maintenance/
Only use Nissan Matic J AT fluid.

I don't know what I was thinking. Brain fart. Don't use J Matic fluid in your 6MT.The 6MT requires GL-4 gear lube.

there are several other good GL-4's on the market that will work in addition to Nissan MT lube.
I didn't do my own research when I made the above post and corrected it. What I read was out of context and was a statement that using any MT oil other than Nissan would void the warranty. The statement really says the dealers will only be reimbursed for Nissan MT oil when doing warranty work.
