don't just jam in the oil filter and turn it tight, you can buckles the oil filter thread and all.
make sure it's aligned properly then gently tighten if you feel it is restrictive then try realign it before tightening.
if you have the car jacked up slightly (if your lowered) or stock on the ground, you can access the oil filter pretty easily.
Cause when i did it, i actually only had enough room for 1 arm at a time that could reach the filter, like all oil filter instructions would prob mention you oil your gasket with fresh oil.
At least you've done your oil change, learn from your mistakes to improve.
