I always clean the gasket surface, then dip my finger in the cap from a new jug of oil and wipe it around the gasket surface. tighten until the gasket makes contact, then hand tighten 3/4 turn. They always come off easy with a filter base tool, or a filter band wrench. Only twice have I needed the filter pliers, and only a couple times have I had to use a chisel. One of those on my brand new 85 C20, the other was the above pictured Baldwin from my Alison trans.

my old 454 was always a bitch, I don't know what it was, but something specific with that engine and they would stick.
 
The surface finish quality where the filter seal contacts could make a large difference on that.

I have a pair of Channel Lock filter pliers for emergency use, the only time I've used them is when I couldn't fit the band wrench on the end. Channel Lock still makes them in the USA for a decent price.

I'm betting the seal surface was a factor.
 
Funny story.... I worked in the Tire and Lube at Walmart 20 something years ago. A team of three of us competed in what they called a Lube Rodeo. The idea was there were several teams of three in a competition of changing oil (among other things) on a vehicle the fastest, safest, and with the least amount of mistakes. The cars at this one were two company owned ford taurus's and they would do certain things to check to make sure you did what you were supposed to do during the service. The guy on the team that worked on the car before us thought he put the filter on tight enough that our guy would struggle. Our guy doing that part of the service had arms like a dang gorilla and he spun it off by hand with ease. The guy that worked on it after we did didn't have as easy of a time getting it off....and they questioned how our guy got it so tight. Luckily there was a judge down in the pit and verified it was put on by hand and not with a filter wrench or anything.

They ended up calling time on those guys, pulled the car around to reset it for the next team. The guy on our team that put it on asked if he could try to take it off for them. He almost immediately spun it off by hand while the previous team that struggled so long with it was watching.
 
We called those Rosey filters. Roosevelt Johnson, big man in our main street shop. The car and light truck filters were bad but 1/2 gl big truck filters were the worst
 
Think we've derailed the.....um what thread is this, Oh yeah the tow pig thread, enough :rotfl:

Not bad, I should see If I have the flip phone picture of my truck with 3300lbs of block in the bed. The old 350 couldn't push the 700r4 out of 2nd gear. :haha:
 
Ehh, I had that much sand in the bed of my '72 years ago.
It was definitely too much and on the rear bump stops.
Your truck won't care, but it probably wasn't near as much fun to drive!
