I run the fram ultra on everything, even my zero turn. Not sure what the best filter is per say. But the ultra is well built and has had few issues when others cut them open for inspection.
AC Delco
ACDelco, Wix, or Fram. Will you be using the OCI suggested by the OLM?
On a truck that new the dealer oil filter. Maybe have them do the whole change. My dealer charges $50 up to six qts Delco full synthetic, filter, tire rotation, multi point inspection. and bring it around washed for me to get into. Don't know if others have that price. The filter may have to have the high bypass pressure spec.
If you want clean oil all the time as the goal, check into a Frantz setup.

Ac Delco UPF48R, It's a Mobil 1 filter.
Supertech, rated for 10,000 miles right on the box. Less than $3 everyday Walmart.
The 2016 6.0 uses the Fram 10060. The 6.0 is a Gen 3 and does not have the AFM system so it does not need the recently released 12060 that the 2016 5.3 would use. The 6.0 is an awesome engine. I have 185,000 miles on mine. It is gonzo for 2020. Long live the 6.0.

Thanks for the info fellas.
Snag, I bought this truck new in oct. 16.
I have decided to go away from the duramax because the 6.0 should do everything I need it for. Yesterday I towed with it for the first time. Very impressive through the mountains. She's got balls!

Thanks. Yes, it's a Gen IV. I recall it is one Gen back from the 5.3 which is a Gen V. ( Gotta get my Gen's correct). And yes, it has VVT but not AFM.

I use OEM for the first few oil changes while the engine is breaking-in to see if any warranty issues happen. Then a Fram model ?? depending on how long an OCI you will be running. Ed
