Well, you can never get your filters off b/c you tighten them too tight. It's 
usually about 2/3- 3/4 turn after the gasket touches. I was over tightening 
my filters at first being afraid it would leak but I don't have any problems. 
I also had problems if I took it to one of those quick oil changes places; 
they tend to overtighten as well. Good luck next time. :) HTH
