You will most likely only be changing 5 qts or so with every oil change since the oil cooler and lines stay full when you drain the oil pan.
Exactly, Nissan has a lot smarter engineers than on our forums. I would stick to what is called out.

This is the reason why I'm in a debate between 5w30...I mean that's the recommended and at first this was my option but then I kept reading about 0w40 and it catched my eye on it. But ok say I decide to go 5w30 which seems logical since I am at 60k miles which would I get Mobil 1 or go for Catrol edge? Or just pretty much stick to Mobil 1? Just want to be pointed in the right direction that's all

In all likelihood you would never know the difference. If you're really curious, go over to Bob is the oil guy and read. They'll learn ya.

The same smart engineers who's valve train materials cause excessive noise in some cars prompting Nissan to pimp an over priced non synthetic oil as the 'solution'?

I have lots of respect for automotive engineers but the 5/30 rec is cafe crap. Overseas you have a range of acceptable oils for our car.
