For the Donaldson synthetic media factory-style air filter, yes it is. Make sure the filter you buy has the blue media as the white media is not synthetic.

They are expensive but your 6.0 is worth it, in my opinion. They will also last around 50K miles unless you drive in dusty conditions on a regular basis.

I just bought one for about $54.00 plus shipping at the following site: http://www.dieselfiltersonline.com/F...n-Fa-1778.aspx
It came out to about $63.00 with shipping. The link I put above is for a F250-F550 and Excursion. The link in the previous post is for a F650-750. Not sure what kind of truck you got but you should be able to find what you need with either one of these sites.

Also when you are looking at suppliers for the air filter make sure they are selling you the one with the "Blue" synthetic material Not the "White" paper media that doesn't last as long and is not water resistant.
Hope this helps

Just get rid of the swtock filter and go with a mass air setup like MAC or K&N.....truck will run better and the cost is almost the same considering that most do not need to be changed, just cleaned every 100k......mine cost $150 for the MAC set up and I did notice an im provement in throtle response.

I think you are preaching to the wrong crowd about the aftermarket filter here. There's no proof the a/m filters are in any shape form or fashion better than the stock filter. They definitely don't provide more protection than the Donaldson, which will provide more air than the stock fuel system can provide fuel.
