Go with a quality synthetic containing PAO, and preferably some esters in stock weight of 5W-30. There are thousands of different esters so it is impossible to tell which brand uses which ester base, and none of them may be the ones that Nissan is using but they are all good at reducing wear in some way.

I'm not going to recommend any specific oil, but I would avoid the standard M1 oil in any high temperature engine. If you want to use M1 use the EP oil.

As for filters, the following are the best in terms of construction and filtration:
Puralator PureOne
K&N
Mobil 1 Extended Performance
Bosch Distance Plus
