You will undoubtedly hear naysayers and horror stories about WMO in a 6.0 but yes, it can be done. As has already been suggested, the key is proper filtration and also making sure your viscosity is equal to or thinner than diesel. I've run WMO in an IDI (extensive miles), PSD (extensive miles), and a 6.0, and never had a serious maintenance issue that was caused by WMO.
My WMO is filtered finer than what's available at a diesel pump and I don't take shortcuts; which is the same thing you'll hear from almost all successful WMO guys. As for settling the carbon out though, I don't think you'll have much luck. There's a guy on the Internet always talking about his "translucent" blends but his information sometimes approaches ramblings and I take it with a grain of salt.
Other things to think about are that you'll need to advance the timing to keep the smoking down at idle, either through a programmer, chip, etc.
