I only had seen oil filter to loosen here on a Briggs. But when I install the filters I put oil the mating gasket and hand tighten to max turns indicated. Lube on the gasket is necessary to prevent sticking, doesn't take much just a smear. I had filters on vehicles that were nearly impossible to remove because these gasket where not prelubed.
Also not I one Purlator filter to fail after getting hot due a factory problem where they form the cup and had produced stress cracks. The heavy held until the filter got hot then it leak quite a bit; like 2 qts on a 25 miles drive.
