Sounds like you are tightening it too tight when your putting it on after changing the oil. Most books say hand tighten or a LITTLE more. I always hand tighten mine, then take an oil filter wrench to it and turn it 1/4 turn. When removing, I reach up there with the oil filter wrench and easily loosen it. Then I take a 2 liter bottle with the top half cut off and unscrew the filter the rest of the way with the bottle around it, so all the oil and filter drop into the bottle.

Yeah the 3.0s is a pain in the *** to get off, i have to put the wrench in from up top then get underneath to loosen it, the previous owner wedged a funnel under the filter to drain all the oil into when you take the filter off, but that prevents me from getting the wrench on it from the bottom. dang that was a long sentence lol.

i use k&n filter(discount at work, get it for same as any other filter) and i only put it on hand tight, comes right off when i change it no problem
and i dont believe in the little directions on the side of the filter either-my motorcycle the filters say to hand tighten, then another 2 full turns, you can never get them off, only go hand tight
