Be as conservative with your maintenance as you want but I can tell you one thing... the people that follow the maintenance requirements won't be hassled by Nissan or any other manufacturer if god forbid they have a major component failure.

Is it really worth it to save yourself say around $75 a year (2 changes of Mobil 1 plus filter)? I spend that every other week in gas.
I last changed my oil in Dec '11 and I just checked itthis past weekend...and everything looked fine, but I will check it very often. Thanks.
