Did I just bamboozle the dealer into giving me a free oil change?

Yeah, the filter is teeny. I had the same thought when I bought mine. But as far as I know, it is correct. Doing my 5k in about a week, so I'll know for sure then.

Wonder if there is an alternative filter. When I had my Versa, the manufacture's oil filter was tiny. On the Versa owners' forum they recommended an alternative that fit perfectly but was almost twice as long.

I can see the filter on my engine but have to remove the skid plate to change it. It does not look as small as the one I bought. Are there different sizes? I haven't changed oil in a long time on a vehicle. I never messed with the cartiridge in previous Tacomas i owned.
