When you take your intake off removing the filter is really easy.

do you all have a problem takeing off the oil filter when i change it i put oil on the seal, and i hand tighten it but 3k later it takes a hand of god to take the damn filter off

Buy a pair of those yellow latex gloves your wife usually do dishes with and you can get the filter unscrew easily.
All you need is enough fricition.

That's friggen weird. With OEM filters? Even when I forget to put oil on the seal I can get it off by hand. Tough, yeah, but definitely doable. I have an oil filter wrench for our filters but you can't actually get it up in there with my socket wrench attached to it. I've never really needed to use it anyway.

Same here, almost any type of filter wrench is useless for our car.
I guess they only work on cars like Toyota where most of their oil filters are located at the front of the engine.
