I bought that brand for my turbo setup. The quality is ok for $30. be sure to wrap the small bolt threads with teflon tape good or they will leak. If you plan on running an oil cooler then get the one with the oil cooler adaptor fittings. But then you gotta buy an oil cooler too.
I don't know which size is for civics, I got mine from their ebay auctions:

if you are going oil cooler, you should run a thermostat because it will make it harder to raise your oil temp to running temp without one.
There are thermostats that set at 180F to open.

exactly, the new piece screws into the original one, and then you screw the oil filter onto the new piece.
