GREAT write up bro !!

I've never seen a wrench like this before. How does it work?

I too fill my oil filter before putting it on, but I have one question. I get my filters from Geno's, and on them they say to tighten until tight by hand, and then tighten 3/4 turn with a wrench. It seems like it's too tight. Do any of you guy's do this?
It's just a strap wrench. It goes around the filter and cinches down on it as you turn. Works just like any other wrench, just works on odd size or shaped items.

By the Service Manual, it says touch the seal and then 1/2 turn more.
