how tight do you go on the spin on trans filter, just snug like a oil filter or more?

thanks

I do mine just like the oil filter, and no problems.

i let it seal. spin half turn

:)When I took them off, (oil And tranny ) I thought I was going to have to blast them off. I put them back on as tight as I could get them with my hand. If they put them on that tite I didnt see any harm in me doing it.GOOD LUCK.:)

Actually there is no need to even tighten them as tight as you can get it with your hands. You will need two men and a small child to get it back off.

hand tight nice an easy no need to bust a nut removing

I always go 1/2 turn from hand snug or about 3/4 turn from gasket contact. I think the filter can says 1 turn after gasket contact.
Having said that, I always tell myself not to put it on so tight when it's time to take it off. I should learn to listen better...:D

Any spin on filter I go tight with one hand, that way I can usually break torque with both hands, this way my giant channel locks get to stay in the tool box.

yep...just hand tight is good enough...

X2. Just be sure to put a thin film of tranny fluid on the gasket first...just like an oil filter. You should be fine.

I was once told "twist it off, then turn it back a 1/4 turn". :D

x3 on the thin film of fluid on the filter gasket. And, changing the filter when the truck is cold makes it easier too. Nothing hot...
