It was mentioned above but I'm going to say again in case someone reading this in the future doesn't know, when replacing oil filter be sure and remove old rubber gasket and wipe block off where old gasket was then rub clean oil on rubber gasket on new filter (I always fill new filter with oil and let it sit about 10-15 minutes and the filter will soak oil up to where you won't make mess) spin new filter on till it touches gasket from that point all it needs is about 1/2 to 3/4 more turn.
The way I do it is tighten filter with one hand, how ever tight you can get with one hand is more than enough, never ever use a filter wrench to tighten.
About half the time when I change oil I can loosen filter with both hands.
To original poster I'm not trying to say anything bad about what you did just trying to keep someone new from making a similar expensive mistake.
