I'm quite sure the 1/2 turn beyond hand tight is the procedure that is called for by filter manufacturers.Use a torque wrench. If no room, use a torque adapter. Not a fan of 1/2-1 turn after gasket contact.
And, I am hoping that everyone oils their filter gasket with fresh motor oil along with cleaning the gasket matching area on the filter mount.
Torque is only specified with cartridge filters and a plastic cap.
