Question Truck Oil Filters, which one do you use?

Just wondering what oil filters (Brand & Number) you guys are using with these trucks.

I changed my oil & filter at the 400 mile mark before a long trip and I'm at the point now where I'm going to change it again. The 1st oil change I just used a stock AC/Delco part, what ever it said in the manual.

I'd like to use a longer one, Mobil One to be exact, is it the same as the F-Body cars? I use a M1-206 on my Camaro SS.

Napa Gold = Wix, I'm out of Delco's so next oil change will be Napa Gold

BTW: ignore the "anti drainback" stuff, on our trucks the filter hangs straight down, unless you anticipate your truck doing a couple cartwheels while you are gone the oil isn't going to be draining from the filter
