also, you don't need to mark the rotation. the numbers are printed on the filter. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

you would screw the filter on until you feel it make contact. if you're turning it lightly, the filter will stop turning on contact.

after it's made contact, you would just note the location of one of the numbers on the filter, say the number 4, and note that number 4 is at, say 3 o'clock.

then you turn the filter until the number 3 is at 3 o'clock. that's 7/8th's of a turn.

if you can do this by hand...then i will be quite surprised.

Or you can just take a black sharpie and mark it Is this "test" only valid with an oem filter?

the discussion regarding hand-torquing the oem oil filter, is about the oem oil filter. not other filters.

I don't care what anyone says. OEM filter only. They designed the car to run at a certain oil pressure. The oil filter was designed around this and I will stick with the OEM filter. Maybe it doesn't matter, maybe it does, but I feel like Honda engineers know a lot more than I do.

Way to get sidetracked,

Buy the J's racing oil filter retainer and don't worry about it backing out at any torque.
