Holy Smokes!!
Seeing the images of the tools required to get an oil filter off frightens me! The lack of maintenance required to get things to that stage is pretty scary.
...Or, lack of knowledge on how much torque is needed to seat an oil filter.
Lets be realistic here-you don't have to be wrong,stupid or incorrect to have a part that's hard to remove,including oil filters & other stuff. The reason experienced persons were able to chime in on this thread is that they had to do the same with "experienced" being the operative word not otherwise. To accurately torque an oil filter with no solid attachment via the wrench plus throwing in a rubber seal is not a perfect world of torque values. I do the Fred Flintstone, screwdriver abuse(I used to show this GM film,r.e.,how not to use tools) thing too, when needed....Or, lack of knowledge on how much torque is needed to seat an oil filter.
That didn't seem to make a difference on my stuck filter that was torqued to the specified 11 Nm (8 ft.lbf.).
Using the appropriate grease on the oil filter seal solved the issue.

I've also seen, and I'm sure you have too, people put 100 ft/p of torque on a filter or a drain plug.
What Fram filter has a nut welded on it?
Sorry, I haven't seen that, but I have seen countless times cheap f--cks who reuse a twenty-cent drain plug seal over and over and wonder why it doesn't seal. Their solution, torque it some more till it stops dripping...and they wonder why it stripped.
