I tighten my Yaris oil filter hand-tight, almost to the 3/4 turn past initial contact. No leaks yet. Are all of the leaking oil filters from the same box (assuming you buy by the box of 10 or so, and they are all manufactured sequentially etc)?

Do the same with the tightening . 3 filters were bought at one Toyota parts department and the newest installed from another . Defect is possible .
