It can't be over tightened van it? As it's not like a screw or bolt as the cap can only be screwed so far until it stops, I just tightened mine till it stopped. Hope this is ok?

Oil filter cap torque is 25nm if anyone uses a torque wrench for the oil change. Too tight and you can get a leak from the 'o' ring seal.

Leaking from the cap itself? I think mine is ok then
