You dont need a filter wrench to put them on, just to remove them. You dont even need it to remove it. You can just use a channel lock to get it off. If you dont have a channel lock then jab a screw driver through the side of it and un-screw it (not like your going to be using it again anyways). Make sure when you install a oil filter to put some new oil on the seal before you install it.

Ok, I guess I will just have to run a test. My next oil change I will use Fram Oil filter with Castrol GTX and then Castrol GTX + Napa oil filter and then take pics of oil after 2k miles.

Plus, I'd assume between both your changes the driving conditions weren't in all ways identical. Good idea, but good luck with the examination...
I too hate Penzoil...used once and never will again.

FYI here is the thread where I got most of this info:
