You lube the gasket with oil when you install and only hand tighten it.  Should not be a problem.  Any thoughts?  I have had this with the last two filters.  The current one being a K&N...the previous an STP.
Thanks for your kind attention.
 
All the best,
 
Chris
 
I use only both hands, but I can get things really tight.
The wrenching nut on the can is cute but not strong enough to use for tightening. 
I use two K&Ns on a dual filter stand. Raced for years that way using 100 to 110 PSI, and never a leak.
