Can't remember the pitch, but yes they are the same.

This is from three years ago, in reference to buying ebay filters by the box load:
Quote:
Just as experiment, I fitted a Mini Z418 oil filter onto my son's Gti yesterday, and so fitted the Swift's Z125 onto my Mini today. Both sealed fine.

Apart from a few mm difference in height, they are interchangeable.
Will be ordering a box of Z418s to use on our minis, the Swift, and the race car (also G13b powered). I like commonality & part interchangeability.

Quick Google search for the Z418 thread is 3/4in-16 UNF
