    Saturday, we had to use drywall repair netting to get an oil filter off Marcus's car. Some 800lb. gorilla decided to put ALL his muscle into getting that filter on. It's not supposed to be that tight!!

    :rofl:

    this was the only wrench they had...the filter in question is the TINY subaru filter that's 'not' supposed to be used.

    Maybe the mechanic used your hairgel instead of oil on the threads?

    Screwdriver and a hammer works for me on every car that isnt mine, or when I dont have a filter wrench handy.
