I'm going to stay fairly quiet.
But I will offer a few suggestions.

-Buy a filter wrench. Sears sells a nice 3-prong self adjusting one for cheap, and it works great.
-Don't wait 3 oil changes to change your filter.
-Don't go to jiffy lube
-Don't put the filter on so tight that you can't get it off, it really doesn't need to be on very tight, just enough to seal and retain itself.. If Jiffy lube did it, see above.
