I personally use only Mobil 1 syn 10W-30 in my Max(VQ30) with a Mobil 1 oil filter.
The previous owner of my car is a good friend of mine that bought the Max with 30k miles on the clock, and only used Mobil 1 10-30 until I bought it with 120k miles. It now about 160k miles on it and it still runs like beautifully.
I would also recommend the factory Nissan oil filter as an option. There aren't many options that beat OEM. If you go for the OEM filter option, try one of NICO's dealer sponsors, like
