Your safe play is to buy your own filter and take it to the mechanic -- due to the fact that many mechanics stock low-end filters and you really do not know what you are getting. BTW: I consider the stock Nissan filter to fall in the low-end category.

K&N/Mobil One are the same filter essentially -- made in the same factory and each do a nice job. WIX are also very effective. Some go for Purolator PureOne, but they are more restrictive. Personally, I prefer the K&N because of the welded nut on the top of the filter that facilitates tightening and removal without having to use a strap or jaws type wrench.

Just my 2 cents.
