This, friends, is why you don't torque the oil filter to factory specs. This is after an end oil wrench, strap wrench, pipe wrench, and finally a pair of channel locks. The filter collapsed and started leaking oil all over before I was finally able to break it loose, and I'm darn lucky that it did finally come loose. Hand-tighten plus about 1/8 turn with the wrench for me, please...
