Pro tips below...That thing is torqued on there at 250ftlbs.
1. Get a F-type filter wrench
2. Remove the little cap on the botton and drain the filter, it takes a 3/8 if I remember correctly (you do not have to do this but it makes things cleaner
2. Use a flashlight and LOOK at the filter there will be a mark on it with arrows telling you which direction is off and which is on
3. It will NOT be easy to remove use a breaker bar, a long one or a 750 ft-lbs impact wrench.
4 Don't put it back on with an impact wrench, use the breaker bar.
5. Enjoy saving $$$$

250 ft lbs 750 ft lbs HOLY CRAPOLLA. What one off IS is this? Heck what kind of filter needs 7 x times more torque then an average lug nut.

I am taking my IS350 for the free services and then to my buddy Son at Dynamic Auto Services after the freebies. I would only hand tighten the oil filler cap and then use a filter wrench on the oil filter. I would give the filter wrench 1/4 turn or less.
