Wrong filter previously installed

[atlsrt45]

Purchased a 2020 challenger scatpack a couple weeks ago with roughly 21500 miles on it. Dealership serviced the car prior to my purchase.

I changed the oil today and noticed they put on way too small of an oil filter.

My question is could this have had a negative impact on the motor for the 1200 or so miles ive put on the car?

Likely no. What was the filter that was pulled off? Could’ve been a jobber filter where a single P/N covers multiple applications.

Highly unlikely and you would have no way to prove it.

As stated it won’t hurt anything and many, many jobber filters are significantly downsized.

I wouldn’t use one on purpose but its fine.

This^^^^^ X1000. I've seen it a bunch. That part number is probably correct from whatever that filter manufacturer is.

No. Even if that filter had no media and was just an empty can 1200 miles on non dusty road wouldn't harm it. And given that most people who own these things change the oil not infrequently along with the filter there isn't much need for more media.

What oil are you using and for how long will you run it.

 

[wpod]

No problems at all.

Scat Pack usually uses a MO899 and the 6.4 Hemis in the 2500 trucks use a MO339 which is the size of the small filter you have pictured. Lots of vehicles use the PF 48, XG 10060 sized filter. Your car will be fine.
My son runs the MO-899 on his 19’ model SP.

Valvoline European Vehicle Full Synthetic SAE 0W-40.

Ill change it at 5k miles

That little filter can do 10k. The larger one can do more. I'm using the fram endurance 10575 for my 6.2 GM and I'm using it for 2 10-11k intervals with quaker state 5w-40.

Cut it open and look for wavy and torn pleats.

Good Morning Atlsrt45,
For 1,200 miles I can't see there being a negative impact. Was the filter you took off the correct filter spec'd for your vehicle?
I'm glad you were able to shop, select and install the filter of your choice. This is always satisfying!

 

[walterjay]

No problem. Sleep well.

I don't think thats a wrong filter as others have pointed out. Just a jobber filter designed for many many applications.

Thank you for all the input. Think i was just a little flustered after breaking a filter wrench trying to get it off as they put it on at 1000psi. Same with the drain plug.

I ran the OG XG2 ultra on the 6.4 in my 2500. The last time I looked Fram hadn’t changed the XG2’s to the new media type but I haven’t looked in atleast a year.
