Never used one but I know of it. Just make sure it is good and tight. The factory oil cooler style filter adapter torque would be a good match if you can look it up.

Something like that I would say just snug it up.

If it really bothers you then call the place where you bought it and maybe they can help...???

The Ford Manual for my '92 lists these values:

Oil Filter Insert to Cylinder Block/Adapter, 62-203 Nm (46-150 FtLbs)
Oil Filter Adapter to Cylinder Block, 55-88 Nm (41-65 FtLbs)

Hope this helps.
