Changed my oil... couldn't change filter

Damn that oil filter was on tight. I tried about 4 different wrenches and couldn't get it off and i'm not exactly the weakest person either. The only wrench I didnt have is the official Porsche one. I almost tried puncturing it with a screwdriver til I remembered you only change the filter inside of the plastic case. I decided to leave it on until the next change... the service schedule says you only have to change it every other time anyway. Anyone else know a better way to get it off? I put in some new mobil 1 5W30 that is supposed to last up to 15,000 miles between changes, it was an extra $5 for 5 quarts. I put in 9 quarts but i'm showing about 4 bars short on my digital readout... how much does each bar represent? I also did the desnorkel mod and love the new sound on WOT.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.
