oil filter housing cover 'tightness'

[omodos]

hi all, and apologies if this is a repeat question,AND a stupid one but I don't have access to torque wrenches etc and am getting an oil change done (via a vacum pump, so wont be taking off sump plug)

plus i need to replace oil filter, but am worried about the correct tightness of the oil filter cover/cap, I am sure i saw on a post here to hand tighten it a quarter turn as such.....?does this mean once I screw down the oil filter housing cover by hand only till i feel resistence to then go another one quarter turn by hand only and thats all, or do i employ the use of a wrench or spanner as such to tighten down at any point.....?#

any replies much appreciated
