went with the mobil 1 filter as well... just did it for the first time...i put in 4 qts to start and it was a weird reading...was a prominent oil color on low level then light color above high level, i put in another half and let it be...how much oil do we use in the 01? hopefully 4.5!

my **** tells me that they're all the same....oh, but if you use the K&N oil filter, you can put a cool K&N sticker on your window Seriously, though - your oil filter isn't in there long enough for it to make a diff, IMO (at least if you change oil regularly)....
