There are millions of opinions on this site.

I run a K&N oil filter.
Lots of folks run Mobil1 Filters.
Lots of folks run the Delco filters.

K&N part# 2006.

Its the longer (truck version) and offers a little more flow/filtration capacity. I noticed a slight boost in pressure when i switched to this from a Fram. K&N filters also have a 1" nut on the bottom, so you don't have to mess with filter wrenches or anything if you can't get it to spin loose.

Does the 2006 K&N up the capacity to an even 6 quarts ?

Keep in mind that when using K&N #2006, the nut protrudes below the oil pan.

This is true, but as long as you don't do too much 4x4 top truck challenge, you should be alright. The nut only hangs a tiny bit below anyway
