This is Popular Mechanics, and I'm going with it.
I just read some horror stories about people who
did what the dealership told them and had to get
new engines at 10K miles.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

On my car, it was recommended that I vary speeds, which is what I did for the first 1K or so, then drove it normally since.

I've had the car now for 2 months, it has about 5K miles on it. I drive everywhere. No issues with the CVT on the Altima. Mileage for me is about 29 city, 34 highway, not bad. My highway speed is about 75, so makes sense.
