Default Trans screw on filter

does anyone know the size of that screw on filter. I like to try and "torque" it using a socket filter wrench. I appreciate your help.

Thanks

Any parts store will sell you the correct size filter given the correct information. Oil filters should be torqued hand till tight. Then half a revolution further with a wrench. Perhaps I'm reading your question wrong.

I was thinking that filter was a little smaller size. Also I was wanting to torque it but..maybe Im just over thinking it like I always do, maybe I will go with your suggestion about hand tightening I appreciate it..

Thank you

Never overtorque an oil filter.

Half a revolution more with a wrench? That's too tight. Hand tight and maybe snug it slightly with the wrench if needed.
