2009 Nissan Rogue Oil filter recommendation

That splash shield is the worst. I can change oil on my 18 in as long as it takes to drain. When I do our 21 and 24, I set and drink 2 beers staring at it , trying to motivate myself to tackle that shield. At least the 2.5 doesn’t have to deal with the plastic oil pan that has a 60% chance of stripping everytime.
I got two clips and the control arm holds the plastic inner fender skirting aside. The wife’s new rouge is a different story I’m pushing the vehicle to 7500 mile oil changes.
 
A cold start is a very low-flow condition. Because the oil is thick, it very slowly flows through clearances. This causes the positive displacement oil pump to slam open the regulator almost instantly when oil pressure is achieved. The majority of the pump’s flow ends up recirculating inside the pump.

The filter briefly sees the pressure spike that opens the regulator. Then it just sees regulated pressure and very low flow. The media of course is only seeing the delta P if cold oil, which due to the extremely low flow, is at a minimum.
There's still the factor of the very thick oil on the filter dP seen - even if the oil pump pressure regulator is working properly. The dP may be high enough to open the filter's bypass valve. Jim Allen on-vehicle filter dP testing showed that can happen pretty easily with very cold thick oil.

Certainly the thick oil will drastically increase delta p for a given flow rate. But flow rate itself also falls off drastically with cold oil, generally enough to offset this.

Can you point me towards a link for the testing to which you refer?

Lots of threads in this board on how filters can go into bypass with cold thick oil. And it's been pointed out in many of those threads that an old fashioned spring loaded pressure relief valve on a PD oil pump will still allow increasing pump outlet pressure and flow volume to occur after it's already started into pressure relief. Here's some Jim Allen threads. Figures are missing because of the board migration to a new software platform, but you can get the gist from the discussions.

Thank you so much, I’ll drive into those link as I can.
