Oil filters are a poor example of interchangeability, actually, because several of them interchange between Vehicle Manufacturers. For instance, it's quite common practice to replace OEM filters with larger ones from other manufacturers, as long as the basic components of the filters are identical.

i.e. drainback valves, location of components, etc.
