How do oil filters go on correctly?

If you are talking about a car's oil filter you want to tighten it to the point where the rubber gasket is touching, then turn it 3/4 of a turn beyond that. Do not overtighten it.Exactly! NOT too tightly! Put a small smear of grease on to the rubber O-ring, then tighten to a quite tight hand-tight. No more than that!If you are trying to remove a stubborn canister, either (i) use a strap-wrench or chain-wrench; or (b) puncture it with a screwdriver and use that as a lever.


Why is the oil filter so hard to loosen and tighten?

An oil filter should be tighten only by hand, never with a wrench, this is a very common mistake. You Must allways fit a brand new rubber gasket, because it "Grows" once in contact with the oil : sealing+tightening the oil filter. You can check yourself comparing thickness of a new one to that of a used one. Remember : the oil filter rubber gasket -unlike others- swells in thickness, so help yourself and do not overdo it!
