Is it necessary to use an OEM oil filter for my Vauxhall Combo Life?

I recently bought a new oil filter from a different brand for my Vauxhall Combo Life. Will using this non-OEM oil filter have any adverse effects on my vehicle's performance?

It is highly recommended to use an OEM oil filter for your Vauxhall Combo Life. Non-OEM oil filters may not meet the same quality standards and specifications as the original, which can potentially lead to engine damage and reduced performance.

While some non-OEM oil filters may work for your vehicle, it's always best to stick with the original manufacturer's recommendations. This ensures that the oil filter is the correct size and designed specifically for your Vauxhall Combo Life's engine.

I've personally encountered issues with non-OEM oil filters causing leaks in my Vauxhall Combo Life's engine. It ended up costing me more in repairs than if I had just used an OEM oil filter in the first place.
