Did you use a filter wrench on that? I've seen a lot of stuff in my 21 years as a mechanic in the Army, but can't say I've seen someone do that.

I never use a wrench to put a filter on. All it takes is to turn on until gasket presses the housing, than turn 1/4 turn farther. This will also allow the old filter to come off easy at next oil change. I never have to use a wrench to take the filters off when I use this method. Still, I am surprised that it broke, unless you put a lot of torque on it.
