Make sure you punch a hole in the filter to let it drain out before you remove it. Much better than dropping a filter with hot old oil all over you and the ground.
Here is a little reading for you:

Like Jim said, you will need a couple more gallons. YOu will need to buy 4 gallons to do the trick, however you shouldnt use all of the 4 gallons, you should haev a quart left over.
Rotella is my personal favorite, thats what always been run in my truck.
Good Luck

Motorcraft, Napa Gold/Wix #1734 filter around the 20 micron level and show good results on used oil analysis reports for folks using them. Next time You can get the Napa/Wix #1734 for @ $11 each from FleetFilter.com. Save you some $ on the next interval.

Folks that run Rotella ussually run it 3-5K. I choose to run Schaeffer's 15W-40, it's what some of the Engineering BSB's use in there ECU field diesel generators - but don't want to turn this into an oil war.
What is the AEM intake? - I haven't heard of it yet.

Rotella is a good oil. It takes 15 quarts to do an oil change on a 7.3 so your going to need a little bit more. I use Wix filters, or Napa Gold. Motorcraft is as good also. IMO. I wouldn't use Fram though.

For the 3rd or 4th time I'm going to point out to make sure you're going to be able to get your filter loose before poking a hole in it. If you poke the hole and then can't get the filter off you're screwed, blued and tattooed.
