I have a K & N, a whole lot easier to get it off, at least for me. The last OEM one i had, I had to stab it with a screwdriver

Besides,they are great when you change your oil hot. You have a grip on the filter and there is zero need to put your hands near the headers or get hot oil on them.

I've done this before.

Unfortunately I had to resort to this on my bike filter since the filter wrench U had was too big to grip the filter.

Next time tighten by hand then you can get it off by hand without need of any tools. You don't need them on there any tighter than that anyways.

I've had issues with oil filters before but these seem pale in comparion to what you're going through...when all else fails...just stab it.

Don't forget "lefty loosey"

I think I've maybe only had to do that once in my life as a last resort.

Stuff that seals fluid in always gets a little tighter after the engine/fluid gets hot...

True but sounds like a condom commercial.
