crushed air filter

Hi.
I received an air filter by mail and it
probably was pressed(crushed)during the shipping,
so some parts of the paper element deformed.
According to my attached photos:
Is it okay to use it or i better replace it?
as it won't work efficiently as a one without
those defects?
Thanks.

Personally I would use it provided that it will still seal satisfactorily and the filter is not torn. That slight displacement of the paper that I can see will not cause any problems.

Whereabouts are you? I have a couple of brand-new ones. I no longer need.

Thanks for your suggestion,Bob,but i bought the filter as a reserve,
so it is not urgent.
