The other day I was changing the oil on a 2007 Camry Hybrid. I could not get the oil filter off with my TOY640 filter cap wrench. It was too tight, and it was slipping. The filter was put on with that cap wrench.
I used a fabric strap wrench which was a pain because of the limited space, but it removed the filter (while crushing it). I put the new filter on. There's no way to hand tighten it (insufficient space to get a good grip on it) so I used the cap wrench again.
Is there a specific torque that the filter should be tightened to where it's tight enough to be secure, but not so tight that it's so difficult to remove?
