Actually if you look at your oem filter, they often fit multiple cars, not just yours and often not just your particular motor. So your logic is not quite valid

I should have clarified my point more concisely, and also should have simplified my first sentence to say:

I think by putting "car" in the original statement, I mislead readers from my empirical point.
When Nissan develops an engine, they take an oil filter, weather newly designed or from their existing inventory, and extensively test the filter with the engine. The OEM pairing is tested to a certain predetermined spec. So, if you change the out OEM filter and put on a, let’s say, WIX (which is known to use heavy filtration, it mightchange the tolerances i.e. oil temps, oil pressure, oil flow/cir, etc. just enough to affect the performance and/or life of your engine. By this point of virtue why not use a filter that you know has been tested extensively for your engine by the company that made your engine.

Actually I also said "not just for your motor" indicating I already covered the "engine" statement also.
If you look at the box, oem nissan filters often cover not only your engine but other engines in the nissan line. So, nissan isn't THAT specific with their oil/air filter designs.
And to quantify that statement, there have been numerous EOA's done on Nissan engines w/ different oils/filters that prove good aftermarket filters are not only adequate but often better than oem.

if this was the case then it should apply to all aspects of the engine design including fluids, so you shouldn't even be using Mobil1, should use Nissan fluids only. Of course this does apply for the trans which needs to be Nissan.
I use Mobil1 oil 10w30 and Mobil1 filters and change at 5k intervals.
