If all else fails drive a screw driver through the side of the oil filter, use both ends of the driver as leverage to twist the filter off. Works everytime ;) I find the filters with that black rough stuff at the end (FRAM brands) to be the easiest to work with, maybe a buck or two more but well worth it if your a do-it-yourselfer.
