I don't think the size of the filter makes any difference on oil pressure.

In layman's terms, the bigger the filter, the longer you can leave it in between changes (a bigger filtration area to collect crap). It might take a little more oil to keep the levels up, but unless it's protruding on exhaust pipes because of the extra size, it shouldn't be a problem.
