It looks like your oil filter adapter seals need replacing. It's a set of 3 O-rings and a T60? bit to take it off. It can take a bit of force to crack free.

almost certainly o-rings, if original, the T60 is loctite from factory, slip the hex bit in 2 identical ring spanners and pipe over end to crack free

1991 could still be the 5/8" hex.

And, take a look at the oil sender. Oil recently changed and it got whacked in the process?

Is that a 5/8" hex to unscrew it instead of a T60?

Yup! The early ones had a 5/8" hex milled onto the banjo bolt.

You're not hijacking at all. Folks need to know the Loctited T-60 isn't the only option.
