Very very simple question... I changed the filter. Did not have the right filter wrench. Tightened by rubber-gloved hand as much as I could. Can this last ~ 500 miles city driving (~one month) without getting loose and dripping oil? It will be a month before I return home and tighten it... Thanks!

 

i always tighten mine by hand....i use a FRAM filter usually with the black grip end on it. I have never had a prob.

 

You should be fine. I hand tighten all of my oil filters, too.
