Also, most people with brand new cars will switch to synthetic oil after about 5000 miles or 2 oil changes. Engines break in better with dino oils.
Nissan recommend you wait to 20K to change to Synth.
From racing friends and mechanics who have been working on cars since the 60's they all recommend 3K for oil changes for combined driving. If you do only highway miles you can get away with 5k. Oil is cheap to replace, parts are not. Spend the extra $20/yr on oil to keep your car running in top shape. As far as the oil filter goes there are some who like aftermarket options. Reading on sentra.net (run by a nissan engineer) he only recommends using the nissan oil filters because they are specifically engineered for that car (sentra). This may or may not apply to the max but I don't have to pay for oil changes so I know I get nissan parts.
