Default What Oversize Oil Filter are you using?

Hello God People,

What Oversize Oil Filter are you using?
I recall when I first got truck it had a large filter, ever since I have been using whatever was available at the local store without any issues. If I can filter more oil that would be a good thing right?

Thanks

Thanks Walt for the quick feedback. This is just what I was looking for.
I wonder why the large filter on Amazon and other places say it doesn't fit our trucks.

Its just a straight screw on right?
These large filters dont require the truck to have been modified. Its been awhile but I recall the large filter that came with truck being properly mounted but also being very close to the steering rod.

Thanks
