I gotta believe that a smaller filter means lesser capacity for
contaminants. I wonder what the rationale is?

For what it's worth I just picked up a new oil filter for my 2GM. I
went to do the oil and filter change today and when I opened the new
filter it was about 2/3 the size of the old one. I called the dealer
to give him grief for selling me the wrong part and he told me Yanmar
changed the design. Glad I called it saved me a 50mi round trip.
