Vibrations

I just did an oil change in my car I used 20w 50 and now my car has some vibrations I feel it at the pedal and I feel it on my steering wheel. The oil pressure is fine and the temperature of my car is actually a few ticks lower. I installed a new AC Delco filter and its smaller than the one that was on there...the circumference is the the same but the height of the filter isn't...it previously had a Purolator filter. Is is just because different manufactures have different sizes or was one or the other the wrong filter and could that be the source of my problem other than the 20w 50 oil. I decided to run that oil because its been pretty hot here in SoCal this summer.

there are several oil filters that will fit your engine, only differance is the length. i doubt if your vibration is related to the oil change, unless you knocked a wire or line off somewhere.
