In the future, do not use a strap wrench/torque wrench to put on an oil filter.

Whoa there, slow down please. Could someone address the whole 4 months before the damage became apparant thing. Is it really possible for me to have damaged it while putting it on and to not realize it for 4 months? If this is possible, then great thanks so much for all your guys help. But it does seem unlikely to me.
