Filter caps = 80 inch pounds > or Hand tight - just not too tight. All you're doing is seating the "0" ring so it will not leak and tight enough so the little bolts won't back out.
Tighten them up evenly too. A little on one then the other(so the "0" ring squishes evenly). Until you're satisfied they're tight enough. Again, not to tight. Just tight enough.
Identify what you have control over and find peace with what you don't.

Remember, you are tightening bolts on an aluminum engine block.
