Dang that's tight

Did the first total fluid change today. Everything went great until the oil filter. Thank God for my fluted filter wrench from Geno's. Took the 1/2 inch breaker bar hooked onto it to finally start it moving. Seems factory didn't lube the gasket before putting on the filter. I remember another thread about this, so you all with 06's should keep it in mind that that dang oil filter is going to be a bear to get loose.
