There is absolutely no need to turn the filter 1.5 full rotations. Please show me where it says to screw on the filter that tightly.

Edit: torque spec for the filter is 10ft-lb of torque.
If that is not a definition of "hand tight", you're doing it wrong!

there is no definition of hand tight.. which is exactly what I was stating.. even the FSM clearly states rotate an extra 3/4 .. which is my point..
