Hopefully this is the correct area to start this thread.
I have a 2007 Honda CR-V 2.4L. I recently did an oil change, and Walmart says the correct filter for this car is the ST6607. It has the correct thread pitch/size and gasket, so I used it. Meanwhile, the Frams (7317) and OEM Honda filters (A02 made by Fram) and other filters for this application are a bit longer (like a good 20% to a third) than this ST6607.
Are there any negatives to using this shorter filter? I'm more concerned about oil starvation with a shorter filter, particularly at higher RPMs such as getting on the freeway.
I did buy three of them, and I don't know if I should just use up the rest of then, or throw them away and probably buy the orange can for the next oil changes (5k conventional OCI's).
Any input appreciated.
