How do you guys tighten your oil filters?
On cars I have found firm hand tightening sufficient over many years.
I realise a big 360 degree twin vibrates much more and the manual advises clamping the filter to a fixed blade.
But much time has passed and the "rubber" ring is probably very different to the mid-seventies.
So... is the "firm hand tension" good enough or is there good, sage advice to counter this?
Cheers
