My filter cap was on very tight as well. It did however come spinning off when I had the 3/8" drive, and rachet in the drain plug. The drain plug feels like it is now super glued into the filter cap.

The one, and only time I had my oil changed at the dealer seems to have been a mistake. I did however have it done on a Sunday around six months ago so it probably was not the best mechanics working that day.

I would go back to the dealer here in Tracy, but being six months ago, and the fact that I am in the process of moving from Tracy, CA to Prescott, AZ right now I don't have the time.

I also really don't see the benefit of the whole drain plug anyway. When spinning the cap off I just let the oil drain into a pan which did not seem to be any more messy than using the drain plug, and plastic tool provided in the filter box.

I see the PDF of the oil filter bracket clip, but if anyone has a close up picture of it please post it here. Thanks...
