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?

Oil filter can I use a different number filter than recommended?

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!!!
