Oh course you had to pay them,

For some reason did you expect them to give you 65.00 bucks worth of oil and
filter for free?

Opinions on this subject are like belly buttons, everybody has one.

Don't waste your hard earned money on K&N products, buy the OEM parts .

You should run convential oil in your new Maxima for about 5,000 miles,
just long enough to seat the rings. If you use synthetic oil on new cars
you risk the chance of ring slippage. After 5,000 miles use a good
synthetic oil (Castrol syntec is what I use). I change my oil and filter
once a year (12,000 miles). My father goes 30,000 miles on his Nissan
Quest (wow), he has over 150,000 miles on the vehicle. Synthetic oil
allows the engine to run cooler, smoother, and improves gas mileage. It is
easy on starters, alternators and other components. Remember synthetic oil
does not break down(loose its viscosity) like convential oils. I spend $7
on a filter and $16 on oil each year (compare that to the guy who spends
$20 every 3,000). Synthetic oil is the best kept secret, don't be left
out.

How does synthetic oil make it 'easy' on alternators? And by the way, my
wife's Nissan Altima has 175,000 non synthetic oil miles. If you don't
mind changing the oil more frequently, regular oil ain't bad either.
