Edit: I snapped this after I found it. That’s how I knew it was on so tight. It still took me a good few minutes to find it because I kept looking under the car. I wasn’t expecting the filter to be on top.

You have fifteen minutes in the game, son. Go score a backrub or whatever they call it idk I don’t coach football.
I’ve heard of punching screwdrivers through them. I didn’t have any screwdrivers I wanted to get oily since I use those on my PC. I did grab some oil filter pliers from the parts store and those finally did the trick.
I won’t use them much, but I’m sure they’ll come in handy again one day
The screwdriver trick is mid imo - you run a major risk of just shearing the filter body wall and now your problem is a leaky oil filter that’s much harder to grasp with other hand tools. Go buy a strap wrench that you can use to install and remove.
Or for the very stubborn filters, these kind of tools are very much a one trick pony that only takes the filter off, but it’s a good trick - it has worked every single time for me.
I feel weird, dad. What’s that feeling? It feels like you noticed me trying and value my contribution. I don’t trust it. 😵💫
