I think the last shop forgot the gasket maybe or just torqued it too tight but I for the life of me cannot get the cap off to replace the oil filter. Any suggestions? I tried strap wrench, the metal socket that fits the cap (but ended up striping the socket), and an large adjustable wrench. Im afraid of breaking it at $60 OEM replacement. Anybody else had this issue?
