05 SE thoughts on these filters / oil / air / Purolator PureONE

I had great experience with Purolator PureONE oil filters in all four of my 4th gens. Now I just bought a 2005 SE. I am changing the air filter, cabin air filter and oil filter just for the sake of it - what do you think of these?

+ switching from synthetic to regular oil (Does it really matter if its Castrol GTX 5W/30 or 10W/30 for the winter in Toronto?)

I'm also switching from 89 premium gas to 87 regular. Does this really matter anything I should or shouldn't do or worry about? I know there are so many opinions out there. Looking for some fresh ones now that its 10 years since this car has been on the road. 155000km (96312 mi)

I use Purolator Pure one on my 03 Altima 3.5 and its great
Also do not use regular gas in ur 3.5! From the factory and in your owners manual it states to only use premium gas (91 or 93). Regular gas is cheaper but will cost u more in the long run because of cheaper quality of gas cuz u will lose MPG

Maxima calls for premium gas and will run better. Mobil 1 makes best oil filters they cost twice as much but well worth it.

The manual doesn't say you can't use regular or a mid grade gas, its says using other than premium can decrease performance. My car runs good on mid grade or Shell regular.

It actually says to use 87 AKI and for improved performance use 91 AKI.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane
rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number
(Research octane number 91).
For improved vehicle performance, NISSAN recommends
the use of unleaded premium gasoline
with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI number
(Research octane number 96).
Octane rating tips
In most parts of North America, you should use
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at
least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number. However,
you may use unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating as low as 85 AKI (Anti-Knock Index)
number in high altitude areas [over 4,000 ft
(1,219 m)] such as: Colorado, Montana, New
Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, northeastern Nevada,
southern Idaho, western South Dakota, western
Nebraska, and the part of Texas which is directly
south of New Mexico.
Another tip
Aftermarket fuel additives
NISSAN does not recommend the use of any
aftermarket fuel additives (for example, fuel injector
cleaner, octane booster, intake valve deposit
removers, etc.) which are sold commercially.
Many of these additives intended for gum, varnish
or deposit removal may contain active solvents or
similar ingredients that can be harmful to the fuel
system and engine.
