STOP! Do not use the wrench to tighten the filter. You must always hand tighten the oil filter. If you don't know already, make sure you put some oil around the rubber seal on the new filter before you install it. Good Luck, and I hope this message finds you in time.

I agree. Never use a tool to tighten the filter, only make it hand tight.
