LmaoYour situation is not unique. I see the factory oil filter installation gorilla is still employed, and has been since at least
2012.
The o-ring was on the original filter. They must have Godzilla and King Kong putting the filters in.One possibility is that Honda ignores their own service procedure and they install the filter with a dry sealing washer.
When you do get the filter off, make sure the rubber ring didn’t stick to the engine, or you could end up stacking two of them on with the new filter.
I don't bother with the filter ratchet attachment anymore I've always had better luck with strap wrenchesI also had a problem with it being so bloody small. even the smallest filter wrench I could find, (fully adjustable) wouldn't fit. I had to build the filter up with duct tape till the wrench would engage/hold it.
I'd fire the supervision.They gave the new guy an impact gun to put the filters on, I think.
+ 1 on the oil filter pliers. Fits em all, apply as much or as little effort as you need. Have had one for years and use it on all my spin-ons.After the last time I had to jab a screwdriver through an oil filter to remove it (several years ago), I bought a pair of oil filter pliers and have not had the first problem since.

I also have the cap-style wrench. The filter on the NC700 is the same size as the filter on the Civic (and, I'm assuming, most Honda cars) so I can't imagine having trouble finding one to fit.if you have the proper tools you wouldn't have this problem. cheap enough to buy.
I have 2 set and believe me these are god send.
I have the same one I purchased from Walmart....You guys think the NC700/750 is on tight....I had to purchase the above to get the one off of my Prius C (less room to work)...The wrench I used to get the original oil filter off the NC wouldnt budge the one on the Prius....the one above,,,,no issue once I put a small pry bar on the end of the wrench...Another option from the folks at Harbor FreightView attachment 45640View attachment 45640
