Those w/TTS LT's pleas help
 
How do you guys get your oil filter off. I can't move an oil filter wrench around enough to get enough leverage. How about a strap wrench. Guess I'll be switching to an SureGrip next time.

I don't use a strap or filter wrench. Just some big channel locks. I crush the bottom of the filter a little,twist,and it comes right off.

I'm like SSmokin 01. I use channel locks. You can get it with an oil filter wrench if you hold it at the right angle. I had to do that the first time. :)

LOL, I ran into the same problem when I had to change mine. I thought to myself, this can't be good. My oil wrench was able to get it off, but I had my problems.

If it was tightened with a wrench before you'll need a strap wrench to get it out now. You only need to hand tighten the oil filter so it shouldn't be that hard to pull off the next time you perform an oil change.
