[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1448119, member: 19880"] I do hand tight but use a rubber strap wrench to give it a SMALL tweak because mild arthritis means hand tight is looser than it used to be. Still have never had to resort to heroic measures to remove any filter I have installed. Never had one leak either. (Generally need a bit of mechanical assistance to remove - strap wrench or conventional oil filter wrench.) Note: The K&N filters with the 17mm nut appear to be convenient for removal. I have read about issues with leaking around the nut. Some have attributed leaks to using the nut for installation - should still be just tightened by hand with nut used only for removal. .I have also seen comparative filter autopsies that didn't place these in the upper tier.
