Wonder if a dealership installed the filter
I think my Toyota dealer uses an impact gun to install oil drain plugs. Guess they think it's a "stressed" bolt...lol
Sounds like the mechanic significantly overtightened the filter. I hand tighten my oil filters, then use a wrench to tighten it another 1/8 of a turn. That's more than enough!
If all else fails, go to the screwdriver. I haven't had to resort to that yet, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
