Default What tool do you use to take off the Oil Filter?
The filter is so tight between the castings - What tool do you use to loosen the oil filter?

I just use a standard filter wrench that fits onto a socket with an extended length bar to clear the headers etc.

I have one that fits the Delco UPF48R Ultraguard Gold filters for my C6 cars.
