Most oil filters say to go one full turn after the rubber gasket makes contact. I usually tighten an oil filter hand tight. Use both hands and tighten it as much as you can get it. You don't need to use a filter wrench to get it tight enough to seal. Run the vehicle and check for any leaks. That's it.
