I have the correct wrench and it took both feet against the wall with a breaker bar and extension and all my 250+ lbs pulling on it to get that thing off.
Know what TOYOTA recommends for the oil filter cartridge torque??? Just past hand tight!

A week after the Toyota dealer rotated the wife's tires, I found two lug nuts spinning loosely and one missing. On the left front wheel. To their credit, the service manager did freak out when I brought the car back in. He personally loosened every lug nut and tightened them with a torque wrench.
