xviper im using a wix filter. filter number is 51334 according to winchester auto here in Cali. basically the same size as the filters used on the later model civics.
There have been several occurances of oil filters loosening during a Bay Area Group drive, but I can not find the threads right now. I was on one of these group drives, when a member had his OEM oil filter loosen and spewed oil everywhere.

I heard about a few owners having their oil filters loosen, so when I first changed mine, I tightened it a little bit tighter than I normally would. I monitered it for a day or two, and when I checked it, I noticed a little bit of oil near the bottom of the filter. I re-tightened it, (the bloody thing was hot) and have since not had a problem with the filter loosening.
I do recall when I first changed my oil filter, the original OEM filter was on bloody tight, but I still got it off by hand
The first time I changed my oil filter on my S was the very first time I had experienced any type of leakage from an oil filter due to loosening.
I use only the PCX 15400-004 oil filter, and I tighten it considerably tighter (by hand) than I have in all my previous cars.
