I hand tighten and then add about 30 degrees more with the wrench.
you might have over tightened the filter

I'm glad that you found out it was the oil filter, nice and easy fix. It must have been a real relief. I hate it when you have an oil leak and can't find where it is coming from. That is what I have been going through for the past week. I found some oil under the car and the plastics underneath had oil on them on the passenger side, but I could not find where the oil was coming from. All of the ends of the oil lines are perfectly dry so I am pretty puzzled. Last night I cleaned all of the plastics with break cleaner and ran the car this morning, and I don't see any signs of an oil leak. I am praying that it was just oil from installing everything, but time will tell.

When in doubt build yourself a anti-spin off mod. I'm sure you can find the thread somewhere. Good to see you caught it before it was too late!

Phil, get a K&N filter and safety wire it on.
You are so lucky it didn't come off.
