Quick verdict
RISKY
Both use a 1-12 thread.
- Thread size is the first hard-fit check for any comparison of spin-on filters.
- Gasket OD and gasket ID are the most important seal-related dimensions.
- Height differences can matter for clearance even when thread and gasket fit appear close.
- Bypass and anti-drainback differences may be important, depending on the application.
