Hi Omodos
The filter housing has a large "o" ring to seal,so it can be hand tighten as its all plastic and when you tighten to a certain point ,it wont tighten any further.You can use a wrench just lightly to confirm that you have tightened it fully by hand.We dont have the tightening torque here but I would guess,its around 14Nms,the same as the engine oil pressure switch
Basically ,do what you posted
