Default Wrong oil filter element

What are the long-term consequences if a Toyota dealership used the shorter 04152-YZZA1 oil filter element instead of the appropriate 04152-YZZA3 oild filter in a 2006 Lexus IS250?

Yes,

None at all!!! Possibly less filtration, but no worries, the engine will be fine.

Thank you for the replies. I am getting them to give me a complementary oil change if I supply the correct filter. However, it is good to know that it will not create a serious problem.
