is it supposed to be this tight?

It's hard to find the oil filter wrench for the STI. It's really tight on first time you change the oil. You can use a Mazda Maita oil filter wrench from the dealer . The parts dept person can help you. Just bring or buy a OEM filter and try it. It fits like a glove.
