Wow, that took a lot of nerve. Not to defend the guy, but I remember my bro
had to butcher is stock oil filter to get it off, they are apparently
machine installed or something, he almost ripped it in half trying to get it
off. Using pliars wasn't the best option though, I couldn't comprehend not
having a oil filter wrench or strap wrench around.
