I safety wire anything that can rotate free, i.e. spinners, oil filters, politicians.... You can see the safety wire if you look closely.

In 30 years of driving I've yet to lose an oil filter due to vibration.

But I do use one of these instead...

Simple FL1A for me. I change my oil too often to not worry about a clogged filter. That doesn't mean I'm right. I've just grown tired of trying every filter under the sun and the FL1A (and the Wix brand) are constructed better than most.
