10 quarts in your 06 sir. I prefer 15/50 Mobil1. That being said you can use stock weight of 0/40 if you'd like. I also race mine often so I prefer the 15/50.
Normally driven trucks are fine on factory fill. Main thing is to change oil regularly as we have no cam bearings so it really relies on oil film to protect from damage.
Hope this helps,

06 got a revised oil pan
It's barely over a quart extra but that a damn good thing.

 

[ViperJeff]

06's were designed to leak more and needed a bigger reservoir of oil

 

[Theol55]

Excuse me..!! What?

 

[VENOMOUS1 RACING]

They accounted for the quart ventilated through the engine via valve covers and added a bit for the leaky oil cooler lines

 

[hawk02]

OK, can an 06 pan go on a 04-05? or not worth the aggrivation>>

 

[Slitherbeast]

the 06 frame is different than the 04/05. don't think oil pan will fit

+1 for 15W-50 Mobil 1. I like my hot idle oil pressure much better with the 15-50 than the 0-40:rock:

It can be done but not worth it IMO!

Engine still mounts the same within the frame rails and has basically the same crossmember underneath. Whether the measurements of that crossmember are the same or not I'm unsure but visually look the same. Frame rails are very different as you said though. :burnout:

Now if I lived up north I'd likely run a factory fill especially during winter.

 

[hawk02]

Yup, 0=40 for winter storage and cooler months, 15-50 all other times, love it, a lot less noise also.

 

[06SRT10]

My 06 must be broke. I doesn't leak oil.
