Actually Amsoil makes another filter that will fit in place of the SDF57. The number is SDF34 and is longer than the SDF57 and will add a little bit more capacity to fill when you do an oil change. An even larger one that may work in this application is the SDF15, but the outside diameter is too large for the V6. I don't know if there is enough clearance on the V8.
Here are the dimensions on each of the filters:
SDF57 - Thread: 3/4 x 16, O.D. 2.920, Height: 3.496
SDF34 - Thread: 3/4 x 16, O.D. 2.920, Height: 4.846
SDF15 - Thread: 3/4 x 16, O.D. 3.720, Height: 5.276
All of the above filters have an Anti-Drainback Valve.
To answer the question of what oil filter I am currently using on my 4Runner, it is Toyota (mine is new and doesn't have 500 miles on it yet). Just bought it two weeks ago and it is the wife's daily driver! When I change the oil and filter on the 4Runner for the first time, it will have an Amsoil filter on it. However on my T100 (w/212,600 miles) I am running the SDF34 and have had no problems with fitment or doing oil changes.
