like i said i replaced it once and tightened it down pretty tight causing it to gap and leak oil out of the filter and cap so i just took it off and havent put one back on for like 3 or 4 oil changes
so since you guys say i should how hard should i tighten the cap im assuming not very hard but its difficult to tell when its so far down in there

Ive found that my filter cap is 32mm. I have a 32mm ssocket i baught for my front axel nut for my shadow that I not longer have. It works fine on my oil filter cap. I doubt that it's standard size, since the rest of the car is metric, but given that its plastic and low torque, it doesnt really matter much either.
