Never had one come loose before and they do seem to self tighten, as I always need to use the filter socket to remove them.
Previous one ? no was the place I purchased from (Padgett's) as for this one yes I did and did the 2 turns from touching (by hand), no drama did a warm up/run test and no leaks thus far seems pretty tight. Slight overfill of the new oil but no drama and not enough to worry about.
