If my car needs a 7317 Fram oil filter and I accidentally bought a 6607. It fits but is half as long. Will it work?

Hi Jessica,
If it fits and isn't leaking, it should be okay. However, the larger filter is used to help cool the engine oil a little more and provide more filtration.
Let me know if that helps or if you have other questions.
Take care and Happy New Year!!!
