Going back to the oil change thing for a second.....
Way back in high school, the method for putting the oil filter back on the vehicle was to turn it until it makes contact and then 3/4 of a turn past that. That still the case? It's the way I've always done mine and normally they come off somewhat easily. Never had an issue but wondering if I've just been lucky?
I've come across a filter that refused to come off and didn't some major damage to it trying. Did eventually come off but think that one was installed by someone who put it back on with some kind of tool. Seem to recall it being critical that you don't over tighten and damage the rubber gasket.
