Rogue Transmission fluid change

Please tell me in detail how to replace transmission fluid on a 2015 Rogue. Can Valvoline fluid be used instead of NS3? My car had 103,000 mi, had not previously had a transmission fluid change and the transmission had no problems. I brought the car to Valvoline shop to change the oil and transmission fluid. Valvoline did not warn me that the change of fluid could cause a transmission failure as the fluid was old. Valvoline changed my oil and transmission fluid in 30 minutes right after I arrived at the shop without waiting for the tranny to cool down. I was in the car the entire time. I was charged for 20 pints of fluid. The transmission failed after 200 miles. What do you think happened? an the tranny fluid be safely changed in 20 minutes while I was in the car?
It's more likely they overfilled it. The RE0F10D's in the gen2 Rogue never take 5 quarts on a spill-and-fill, they always take something between 3.5 and 4.2. So your tranny would have been overfull by at least 0.8 quarts and possibly as much as 1.5 quarts. Overfilling makes the fluid foam and causes "hot spots" on the belt which can kill the tranny very quickly, and anything exceeding half a quart overfull is a disastrous amount.
