Oil type filters require more maintenance. The stock filter (or any paper) filter will flow better after a few thousand miles.
A properly cleaned the oil type filter will flow better, but for a short period of time. That is the reason most manufactures switched to paper type filters many years a go.
Also my personal experience is a lot of people over-oil these filters and you end up with oil residue in the intake and throttle body which is bad.
I plan to stick to paper type stock Nissan filter for at least the warranty period unless it gets turned into a track car ,
