As tight as you can by hand is fine, I bet that's all the Suzuki workshops do too. Oil filters are like vagina's, best well lubed and tight, but not too tight .........
Ditto. I've never had a filter leak or fail in any way whatsoever. I always need a strap wrench to remove them.
You don't need to run the engine before changing oil. That only loads the galleries with oil and it takes ages to drip down. Just dump the oil and leave the tray under for half an hour.
Theres sometimes a strainer that is worth checking now and then. I pulled the strainer on my bike after 20,000km (from new) and it was spotless.

"Wow, Great advise there DB."

A oil filter strap is about $10-$15 from SuperCheap and the likes - makes the removal of a tight one very easy![]()
