oil filters....

i know most of you guys have doen oil changes yet btu those who have, what kind of oil filter are you using?? on my previous car, i always ran M1 oil and filter. i would like to run that setup again as it worked well and kept the engine clean, tho im having trouble finding the M! filter for an 07. all the stores (pepboys, kragen, autozone) have the M1 availabele for the 06 but not for the 07 BUT the rest of the filters available (fram, bosch, stp etc) all have the same part numbers for 06 and 07! going by the rest of the filters, wouldnt you think that the M1 filter for the 06 should fit the 07 as well? or am i completely in the wrong for that?

From everything I've seen, it's a carryover filter.
Maybe the stores have not updated their M1 catalogs yet.

OEM Nissan filters.

If they are good enough for UMS Tunin's and Forged Performance's 600+whp cars they are good enough for my 400whp.
