If it is put on too tight, or is in a bad location, yes. Oil the gasket before installing. After the filter makes contact with the mounting surface, tighten 3/4 turn. No more, no less. It will then be easy to remove and will not leak. No not really, if you are removing the oil filter and replacing it, you can always spear it with a screw driver and turn it loose. That's if you really want to and don't mind a mild oil spill.

How do you change the oil on a Lexus SC 430?
As you face the front of the vehicle, the drain plug is on the left side of the engine. The oil filter is on the right side (driver's side). You will need to lift the driver's side of the vehicle slightly to access the oil filter. The engine cover must be partially removed to access the filter. You need remove only 4-5 screws (a 10mm socket wrench or box wrench is better than using a Phillips screwdriver to remove these). Once you remove these screws, you can pull down the cover and access the filter. An oil filter wrench (cup type that a 3/8ths socket wrench fits into) that fits over the end of the filter is the easiest way to remove the filter. When you put the new filter on, be sure to wipe some oil on the gasket. Hand tighten it, then turn it no more than a quarter of a turn with the wrench. You will need 14mm wrench to remove the drain plug. Be sure to recycle the used oil. Plan for 5+ quarts of oil.

Next to the oil pan. I recommend using an oil filter socket wrench attachment to remove the filter. A regular filter wrench will not fit and its difficult to loosen by hand.
