According to the owner's manual, Nissan recommends 5W-30 engine oil. RockAuto.com lists many different oil filters you can use, depending on the brand you want to go with. Some of them include the AC Delco PF2057 oil filter and the FRAM PH7317 oil filter, both of which sell for under $5 from both RockAuto and Amazon.
