Welcome aboard.
PLEASE STOP YELLING (it makes it difficult to read your post).
I suggest you read
1. through the hundreds of posts re: oil requirements (OCI, filters, UOA, etc.). The search feature can save you a lot of typing and provide you with instant access to multiple facts, opinions, and recommendations.
2. your owner's manual
Here's just one of the threads:

It IS an awkward angle for sure! Maybe the lower rad hose didn't need to be in the way, or maybe they could've angled the filter mount just a bit more toward the pass side?

No kidding. Just past finger tight my a$$. They torque those on like crazy. I all but destroyed the one on my wife's Taurus X trying to get it off. It was at that point that I remembered why I usually pay for the first oil change...let some poor SOB at the dealership get it off for me.
