    Regular old pliers does the job. Thought about getting the cap wrench that's goes over filter but pliers works fine. Don't be stubborn tough guy you will need it if its on too tight

    Since I don't buy new vehicles I don't have control over how tight the oil filter is on until after it's off. This is my go to assortment.

    I install the new one with my hand.

    I stab a screw driver through the filter everytime. Over kill yes, but I do it for therapeutic reasons.

    Damn near. Sometimes though it seems like the oil filter was put on with an impact and that's when that pry bar comes out, it becomes a sword lol.
