Twist the filter clockwise to screw it into place. Tighten it only until the filter is snug; do not over-tighten. Be sure to use clean gloves to screw in the new filter. Using ones covered in oil will make it extremely hard to grip the filter and could lead to a messy accident. Only tighten the oil drain plug until it is snug.
