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.

Just unscrew the filter. If you cannot remove it with your hands, it was put on too tight, which is common, as most people tighten them too much. You will need to use a good filter wrench. The type wrench you will need depends on how much room you have. Oil the gasket & Put the new filter back on and only tighten it 3/4 turn after the filter makes contact with the mounting surface. By doing this you will not need a filter wrench when removing the filter next time. 3/4 turn is plenty tight and any more is too much.Just unscrew the filter.

How do you change oil filter on 2002 lancer oil filter?
To change the oil filter first drain the old oil. Then use an oil filter wrench, preferably the cup type you put on a ratchet, and unscrew the filter. The filter is located right next to the oil pan, it's pretty obvious what it is. Then take the new filter, rub some oil on the gasket, and hand tighten it. DO NOT tighten with wrench, only hand tighten it! Then fill the car with new oil. All done.
Why would oil spray all the oil out of the oil filtor?
At the top of the filter is a rubber seal. Sometimes when you remove the old filter that rubber seal stays in place and when you screw the new filter on the oil will spew out between the two seals. So take the filter off and check for the old seal. If that is not the problem you may have cross threaded the new filter or tried to tighten it too much and rolled that seal over. It needs to be tight but not torqued down.
