Use a torque wrench to tighten evenly and two gaskets (one on either side of the screen) and you shouldn't have any problem. I open mine all the time; I can't drain my oil without loosening it. That said, I'm not sure you ever need to open it unless you suspect there are some extraneous pieces of plastic or metal at the bottom of the sump!
