OEM oil filter: only one place you can buy it...from the Nissan dealer. Should cost $5 or so. As for oil, all oils are good provided it says 5w30 on the bottle. Normal oil is good for 5000 miles, synthetic can be extended to 7500. Do a search on "oil change intervals" and read the "oil analysis" sticky for more info.

i use Amsoil Synthetic 5W-30 and Amsoil filter as well. Synthetic oil will perform the best and last the longest. switching to synthetic oil in a high mileage vehicle might cause problems. look up forum for more details. oh ya, stay away from all oil additives, for example, dura-lube,prolong,etc. dont worry too much about what brand of oil to use, just make sure you're changing the oil on time every time.
