UPDATE:
dan came by.. his wrench was too big.. didnt work.. he even tried to bite it and use his hands.. didnt even budge one bit... tried to by a wrench from napa but it's a piece of **** and it's not working...
so now my car is stuck.. with nowhere to go because i already drained the oil...
anybody wanna take a crack at loosening this SOB??? cuz lemme tell ya.. it's on there pretty good, just like my O2 sensor was on the downpipe pretty good, and like how the bolts on the heatshield when installing my downpipe were on pretty damn good too..
WHO THE HELL PUT TOGETHER MY CAR?

i always change mine when my car is still hot... i have this 'ol school theory that metal expands with heat... thus making the filter ease off like butta! plus the oil drains out like water!....
^^ not good advice by the way

Usually let mine cool down for an hour...

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Rappa in the makin....Go Gdogg!!!
My last oil change...should of let the oil cool down a little more than I did...hot to the touch but not scalding...it does drain out much faster as Greg mentioned...
I started with Dino, then Mobil 1, now Royal Purple...not much of a noticable change...
