I ordered an EOF0012 oil filter for my car, on the box it says EOF004 but someone has handwritten OF0012 on the box but it says EOF004 on the oil filter.

I assume it is a bad idea to install this?

Possibly not a problem.the new filter is often smaller and supercedes the previous larger type.

Is that right?

Thanks for the reply.

I have opened a dispute with the seller and will see what he says.

From a very quick perusal of the manufacturers data sheet it appears that the EOF004 filter is suitable:

Google is a wonderful thing!

When I serviced the wife's one a little while back I go t the opposite, small one was fitted and was sent the larger one in the service kit. When I read up on it technical concesus was the larger one was lightly better option for the year but don't think it matters that much from what I read.
