It seems the previous owner of the car, captain planet, and his super strength must've tightened down the cap on my oil filter housing. I've tried the 36mm socket and vice grips with a rag on the teeth so far, but I can't seem to loosen it. In fact, trying to turn it with the vice grips caused the cap to chip on one point of the screw head.
Any ideas? I really have to change the filter.
Thanks all!
