did it go on right after you put the filter on? if so, try unplugging the battery for about 10 minutes then plug it back in and drive around a little bit

How does the car run at idle? If you have a vacuum leak it willhave a rough idle. As long as the intake hose is sealed and the car idles fine I would try replacing the o2 sensor.
