What are the consequences of using a bigger oil filter assuming that thread size, gasket match up and no physical interference. Someone told me that using a different sized oil filter will cause changes in the oil pressure, so is higher or lower oil pressure better? Finally, can I use OEM oil filters from different car manufacturers?
The reason I'm asking is I just bought 2 OEM oil filters from the parts department of my local dealership and I found that both of them are rusty. In fact, I went back and the clerk told me all the filters on the shelf are like that.
I've found that Toyota oil filters have the same threading and gasket size and since my Daihatsu engine is based on the Toyota Yaris engine, I'm thinking of switching over to using Toyota oil filters. Any comments?
