Dealer wants $500 for the job. Sounds pricey, but I don't know much about the CVT trans. What advice would you give?

The CVT trans fluids are very expensive. Is there a replacable filter and is that being offered in the service. Should be about 1 hour job just for fluid exchange. Seems like $400 for fluid and maybe filter. Probably 10 quart exchange so that's $40/qt. Crazy as it sounds, that could be possible. Nissan GT-R trans fluid is about $90/qt DEALER cost!! My guess it would be a screw on filter if there was one.
