Id be shocked if the motor broke cause I went a few miles over Nissan's recommended oil change time frame but who knows. With that being said, the noise is clearly coming from something in/near the passenger side valve cover or throttle body, not anything deep inside that would usually give out due to low/old oil like the bearings. my guess would be a pushrod, lifter, or rocker arm. I don't believe any of these problems would be caused from a slightly late oil change.
This engine doesn't have pushrods or anything of that nature. The camshaft pushes on a shimmed cam bucket that sits on top of the valve/valve spring.

I agree with nis350, check for exhaust leaks.
