Well, for 18 years I've been doing this. Fill filter half way up with oil, oil the gasket, spin it on until catches then do 1 more turn or until lightly hand tight. If you can't loosen it by hand when you're trying to remove then you put it on too tight... usually.
As for the drain plug, if you use aluminum crush washers then as the bolt snugs up it will be tight-ish and then you'll feel a little 1/8th turn of the washer crushing. Once the washer has "crushed" you're there.
Or if you're not sensitive to these things just use the torque stick and be done with it.
