As I said, "hand tight" is the most common practise, and I only provided specs as per shop manual..., for comparison., I also checked for you an oil filter torque for one Asian car and it says 9 - 12 lb-ft....

I've never torqued any oil filter in my life, ever, always "hand tight"
Info written on OEM oil filter = 24-30 N-m = 17 - 22 lb-ft
Your choice
