Are you sure a mechanic wouldn’t use a dented filter
doing an oil change? I hope that’s against the law or something. That would f up the engine!

It depends on where the dent on the filter is, and how deep it is.
A small dent on the body of the filter or the bottom, shouldn't make any difference. But if the dent distorts the shape of the rim in any way, I wouldn't use it. That might cause it to leak.
