2013 Outlander Sport CVT transmission

I recently purchased a 2013 Outlander Sport. I am trying to get some information on the 2013 CVT transmission. I am told by the dealer that a trany service is simply a drain and refill. No filter change or pan drop inspection. However I have seen u tube videos recomending a pan drop and a filter change. I was also told it had no filter but I have found information that there are possible 2 filters. One cartridge type inside the trany that is simply a screen and there is a paper inline filter on at the inlet to the Transmission cooler in front of the radiator. Also, What is the difference between J1 fluid and J4 Fluid. And are the Mitsubishi fluids synthetic?
Thanks
Dave
