Wrong oil filter likelihood of damage ?

[del mar]

Evening,

Main dealer has no oil filters left.

Various online catalogue cross reference it to a Mann W77.

However it is a different size, slightly smaller.

Is external size a big issue providing it operates at the correct pressure ?

Thanks

Del

Thank you.

Car might do 1500 miles a year so that isn’t an issue.

Actually been fitting this exact filter on a Jowett Javelin race engine devolopment project over the last few years. Having split a few open the Mann is a fine oil filter, bloody small thing. It’s for a Renault?

Renault 4 / 5 / 12

and

Maserati Ghibli .....
