I own my Rogue Sport (Qashqai J11) for about 5-6 months now and never changed the filter or oil yet (recommended 6000 miles)
Got the air filter from K&N and and oil filter ( I always change around 3500 miles, no matter what) and I was shocked to see how dirty was the OEM filter... I had many cars in the past (brand new) and always drive in the same location, same cities, same everything... and air filters were always clean and looked pretty much new... but my qashqai... it just different.. is it normal?

You probably only need to be behind an old diesel once at traffic lights for a load of black soot to get sucked into your intake.
