Oil change with out torque wrench

[srjd]

I have everything I need to do my own oil change except a torque wrench for the oil filter cap. Should I continue with the oil change is there a rough guide like hand tight plus a quarter turn for the oil filter cap or does it have to be exact and I should just go get a torque wrench
Thanks in advance

You don't need a torque wrench.

Just make it Snug tight...
Dont go all crazy on it

Snug it up, no need for tq wrench.

No need for a torque wrench. Don't waste your money! I use a large adjustable wrench and it works perfect. Just go easy on it because it's plastic!

yeah ive never used a torque wrench ever on a oil filter cap so just like everyone else said just snug it up but dont make it too tight

Channel locks are all Ive ever used on that thing

The oil filter cap has an o-ring that seals it so all you need to do is make sure it is snug.

You don't want to try turning it another 1/4 turn, it will crack!!!

i just snug mine to where the dealer had put paint pen marks on the caps

And it's a 36mm...not a crescent or channel locks....
