'Service Engine Soon' light came on in my '00 Max....dealer said the air flow meter needed to be replaced and noted that I had did not have an OEM air filter installed....he suggested that this could have caused the flow meter problem....it is true that I put a Canadian Tire air filter in just over a month ago but does anyone think that this could have caused the flow meter to foul up?

I seriously doubt it...
Adding to M. Balls' post... IIRC the high-flow oiled filters, like K&N, were the "some aftermarket" types they were talking about. The issue is that if too much oil is sprayed on it comes off in the air stream fouling the MAF and cannot be cleaned off without damaging it.
I wonder how many Nissan service dept's use Genuine Nissan air filters.
