I just received a bunch of parts from 1sttoyotaparts.com and one of them was a Toyota oil filter. After some research online, it turns out that these are actually quite well made so I thought I would give it a try. When it arrived, I noticed that it had a dent in the top.

Here are a couple links to pictures of the filter:




Now from what I have read online, it seems that people are 50/50 on whether it is safe to use a dented filter. What do you guys think? Will that dent cause any performance issues with the filter? From what I know, the bypass valve is on that end of the filter, but is that dent in a place where it would affect the function of the valve?
