Possible but not likely. Screw-on filters generally will either not seal or not screw on to the wrong vehicle but there may be exceptions. Element filters are few and far between these days but even so, the centres are all different sizes as are heights and widths. Fitting the wrong one would be difficult but again, there are probably exceptions.

Some oil filters have a check valve in them. Perhaps you have the wrong filter on the car? Your car may not take the filter with the check valve. Also check to see if someone who did the oil change didn't leave the old oil filter rubber ring on the housing and then installed the new filter on top.

Is it possible that your vendor forgot to put oil in your car ? It does happen especially when they are busy and one guy is doing the draining and someone else is adding the oil and finishing the job. Other possibilities could be missing or leaking oil plug or perhaps a leaking filter.
