Default Oil Filter

I have had good luck with Fram Ultra filters. I know a lot of guys are anti-Fram. I know I have easier choices.

But I'm just curious if anybody has used a Fram Ultra on any traditional Pontiac V8?

Fram does not list one, only the PH-25 Extra Guard. The Wix with anti-drainback valve is 51258.

I did some research and found the closest dimensional match to the Wix is the Ultra XG9837 (the XG3675 is inexplicably identical). It is a bit shorter and a bit smaller in diameter but the mounting thread is the same and the gasket dimension is pretty close.

Any reason to believe it wouldn't work?
