I've been using this trick for years (dating back to my '93 P71 Crown Vic....with a horizontal mount oil filter). Of all the cars that I've been using this method on (both import and domestic), I have to say that it's been of the most benefit on the SI.....due to the "what were they thinking" oil filter location.
