don't need snap-on. try harbor freight. saved you 30 bucks. leave snap-on to people who use tools for a living unless you're made of money.

Yea, 150 ft lbs of torque. That's what it feels like the filter is put on with, but I almost always change mine cold, so it takes more to get it off. 1st filters I mean. Not only is it put on by a machine, but dry. Bad combination. I have always used a good strap wrench from the top. In 3 new F-150's with the modular, they've always been tight but always came with good steady brute pressure.

Probably 3 lug nuts had at least 180 ft-lb torque (maybe more).

if you realy dont want to take it in and i understand not wanting to. i have had thi happen once and i just punched an awe through the filter and use it to twist it off worked well for me obveously put something down it makes a mess down side obveously if you still cant get it off then you have more of a problem then you started with just food for thought

There are a # of filter wrenches that would take it off if it were welded on. I stuck a screw driver through the filter on my DIL's Lexus RX because the filter was so tight and difficult to get to that I COULDN'T get it off! Not even with a filter wrench. What a mess! Not only was there oil all over from the holes in the filter, then it started to tear rather then come off and I was really in a pickle. Finally got it off with a big pipe wrench. Never again will I poke a hole in one!
