Been changing screw on filters for years. Stopped using wrench to tighten many years ago. I get oil onto seal, make sure hands and filter surface are clean, then hand tighten as much as I can by hand. Even then, I do not think I've ever been able to get the same filter off without the use of a wrench, and I've never had one leak.

I have an '07 GT with 83,xxx miles. When it sits in sub freezing temps for too long, it leaks from the oil filter adapter where it meets the block. After a few days it leaks about a drop a day. Hand tightening the filter is the only way to go... ^ +1
