ok so today i changed the oil in my 94 lsi, normally its an easy task. But today it was a pain in the a$$. last time i had the oil changed i didnt do it, due to time restrictions so i took it to the shop. When i went to take the oil filter off today i noticed it wasn't the same as the one i purchased, it was smaller in diameter and taller. Which made it extremely difficult to remove because my oil filter wrench doesnt go that small, so i had to make due. The filter is not the recommended one, would this cause any problems, like a leak (i have had a small oil leak lately). and why would the shop use it if its not the recommended one?
