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:

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.
