Well, ran over to the Delta Sonic, brought all my goodies, and low and behold, the guy was able to remove it with half as much work as I made it out to him. Said that he tried the 13 wrench, then the vice grips, and since it was so compressed, was able to work the 12.
Charge was nothing because I brought everything! Woohoo!!! Very nice of them. Although he wanted to remind me 'Left loosey, righty tighty!' Thanks.
What I have learned with my 'own' oil change:
-first use correct 6 pt socket (if using socket at all) NOT 12pt!
-use 1/2" on the 13mm as it may provide a snugger fit
-try wrenches first instead of sockets
Hopefully next time I will be able to do my OWN oil change and not have to leave it up to the 'professionals.' I now have (I know for sure) Mobil 1 0w40 with a Puralator PureOne filter on, and 'lightly' magnetic oil plug.
Keep Saabing!
