Saw this on Amazon today. The shape of the case and the base plate look very Fram-ish. Safe to assume that it's a rebranded Ultra? Has anyone on here used one?

They have been around for a long time
One oil change place that uses them say its like the M1 filter

To me, baseplate in Amazon example appears to be the new(ish) Champ Labs baseplate design as seen in the Champ made Super Tech 9688. Difference being Castrol in example a with a silicone adbv. ST9688 like example uses the beveled thread boss found in many (but not all, including equivalent app Ultra XG7317) Fram filters. So no, 'I' would not assume rebranded Ultra based on the baseplate. Be interesting to see the bypass on example to confirm Champ Labs.

Castrol may have a new manufacturer for its oil filters. The earlier green cans were made by Champion Labs as a close cousin to the Mobil M1 filters.
Here is an existing thread on the exact same subject that was active as recently as yesterday:
Castrol filters @ Amazon
Seems like they've launched a new line of Castrol filters, never seen this before
