I actually do add some oil into the filter despite it being horizontally mounted. My Honda Prelude is the same way. I just don't add TOO much oil so it'd spill out. I only add about 1/3 of the filter's worth of oil. It doesn't leak out as i'm spinning the filter on. But whether this little oil really makes any difference though is another story...

edit: and yes, nice write-up!
