Motherf^ing oil filter won't come off even with a oil filter plier...WTF?!
I'm trying to twist it off (counter clockwise...) as hard as freakin possible with the oil filter plier and it isn't budging a bit. What the hell? Is there something i'm missing?

Yeah, mine was like that for some reason last time also. And I only
hand tighten mine. Be careful though as to not tweak those two hoses going into the stock oil cooler as your wrenchin' on the filter. As they will leak if tweaked too much. The cooler should be sitting on that little tab as I'm sure you know.

Oil filter plier? Try Sears universal oil filter WRENCH attachment. Use it with a big-*** torque
wrench to get maximum leverage. If your wrench is long enough, you'll be able to stomp on it with your foot. I'm sure that'll do the trick.

Make sure you didn't twist the oil cooler/heat exchanger.....
check where the coolant hoses go into it, if it's twisted, they'll be pressed up against the hard coolant line, and can cause a leak. If your filter was that tight, chances are you did twist it...
I don't mean to undermine anyone, but it helps if you put a lube of some sort on the oil filter prior to install. Most DIYers would just use some of the old oil.
