If you get an oil filter with a nut on the end, *do not* use it to tighten/torque the filter on. That nut's there for removal only. Using that nut to tighten the filter risks damaging the filter and having it leak/rupture while riding. Do a search on K&N motorcycle oil filter - the things are banned from most race organizations for precisely this reason. Hand tighten it (like with your hands, don't use any tools - even a torque wrench) and move on with life. If you're paranoid (or a racer) safety wire it.
