Sure you can.

Non-Posche filters may not have the bypass valve allowing oil to flow in the event of an obstruction. Just a bit of insurance. I did the same thing not long ago when a mechanic (who I will never use again) installed a cheap filter after doing a check to see if I needed a valve adjustment.
The filter is about the highest point in the oil system. Not much oil will spill out when you change just the filter.
