go to genos garage and buy the fleetguard stratopore filter lf16035(that is the p/n for up to the 06's, if the # isnt good, genos will staighten it out).

as far as oil choices, ensure you get a diesel oil, not gas stuff.
either rotella, delo 400, valvoline blue, etc. you'll get as many opinions as there are choices. for the 07, it will have to be a low ash oil.
