Difficult oil filter removal

Hi,

I think this the toughest part of this is removing the oil filter itself from the cap. I am tempted to buy another cap to use. Is there a trick like destroying the filter itself or do I just have to yank it hard? This is on a 2014 V10. Thanks.

Actually it's not. I just figured it out a while ago. If you pull it straight with force it won't budge. The trick is similar to breaking a pencil, hold cap with one hand and filter with the other, with a breaking pencil motion, rotate the filter and each tab on the filter will break break free from the cap. I can't believe it's that easy. Now I need to put the right amount of oil and I'm done. Took me 4 hours.
