Presuming you are talking about the oil filter housing on your 2010+ RX, I go 90 percent effort - hand tighten, using no wrench or other device of mechanical advantage. Take care not to damage the O-ring and lube it before installing the housing back on the engine block. Mine doesn't leak with this level of effort. I found the dealer and factory to overtighten this housing (typical of the gorillas in service departments).

I agree with Brad. Just use your fingers to tighten down the filter housing. IMO, as it is metal ending up on metal, hand tightening works...I have not had a leak after 5 oil changes on my 2010 RX350.
